EEeeeeek First post guys. I was wondering if i could get some advice. Don't even know if I'm asking in the right place.
Anyway I've got kids from when i was younger so they live with Mum. Weekend Dad which is all i can really be for them now. My ex had our son tested for ASD. He is high functioning although my ex disagree. But hey ho!!! I'm only weekend Dad!!!
I've took a backseat because not to get too personal but I was an idiot when the kids were young I was real piece of work. Still took the kids all the time just couldn't afford to give my ex money, shes was just amazing honestly a saint. one of those people she'll do anything for anyone.
Problem is I'm worried she has now become so obsessed with raising awareness she has done it in fabulous fashion. What I'm afraid of is she now sees symptoms that aren't actually there.
My daughters school is on my side The rest of the family agree shes wrong but it really her call at the end of the day and I respect that but this is affecting her self esteem and I don't think I can stand idly by again.
So my questions are should you chose to accept them :
1. Can I just make an appointment to go and see the people who will be testing her and strike up a bit of dialogue so i could be kept in the loop about what is happening?
2. Also is it true if parents are relentless enough they will get a diagnosis to to keep them quiet?
3. And finally! These are not going to be fun conversations in the coming few months so any advice on how to approach this?
Thanks in advanced folks
