Month: February 2026

I’ve just come across this, no author noted so cant give credit. But with half term and spring break coming up, this can apply to any time when routine changes.

Its been a while since I used this – life kind of got in the way. We have been struggling alot with anxiety and we are back to the GP in a couple of weeks to ask for referrals. There is more to my son. I am certain he also has learning disabilities – he is 13 and still unable to read or write so we need a formal diagnosis of this as there are different avenues to access support if this is also on his record.

I am stressing at the fight ahead of us as I know it is not going to be easy to get them to assess for just learning disabilities – it is normally in conjunction with an autism assessment – but he was diagnosed aged 4 so this is not something that would have been looked at so young. We have already been told by school that he wouldn’t be assessed for just learning disabilities – they checked with the Educational Psychologist.

We will wait to see what the GP says and take it from there. Here we go again!
