Hi everyone:)
 

Hiya My name is Katy:) My 14 year old son has a diagnosis of ocd and tourettes with traits of autism and adhd.He has mild development delay.He has recentely recieved a statement to help with his eductional support.I have had a roller coaster ride with school who have accused him of putting tics on and behaviours on to being told he is the most stupid child they have ever taught.He has had long stints of being isolated from lessons for his inapropiate statements and also recieved 3 exclusions from school.He has explosive meltdowns in school and out.And he can be very hard work but i love him to bits:) He is currently taking 150mg setriline and maybe having another med mixed in.Looking forward to hearing your stories and always looking for advice and support.Thanku for reading:) peace!

Hi Katy!
 

Welcome to NT! :hug:

You've come to a great place for support and understanding.
It's obvious that you are a very loving mother. I'm sorry that your son has been treated like that in school!! How awful!

There are many caring people here and I'm sure you'll get some good feedback. I see you've found the Child Care forum :). I was also going to suggest checking out the 'Caregiver's support' forum, but there hasn't been much activity there lately.
Nonetheless, make yourself right at home. This is a very down-to-earth, warm atmosphere. I hope things begin to turn around soon for you and your son.

It's great to have you!

Caring,
Rae
