My daughter has been on your waiting list for an ADHD assessment for some time. She was diagnosed with ASD previously.

Why is she on a waiting list when she’s known to you?  

We need help as her behaviour is becoming increasingly impossible to manage and she’s putting herself in dangerous situations.  She goes out and we don’t know where she is (although we’ve seen her hanging around bad areas of the city centre), who she’s with or what she’s doing.  

We know she is participating in risk taking behaviours and putting herself in situations that aren’t safe. We need information where she’s at. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to control and support her. She’s impulsive and extremely vulnerable.

Dear Pyxiscg48

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch.

I am sorry to hear about the difficulties your daughter and your family are experiencing whilst waiting for an ADHD assessment. I have shared your feedback with my colleagues within the CAMHS Team. As Care Opinion is anonymous, they have asked if you can contact the duty system at Barrhead Health Centre on 0141 800 7886. The line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and you will be able to speak to a member of the clinical team.

Many thanks

Nicole
