My son has a diagnosis of severe ADHD & conduct disorder.He has received no education since Jan & we've been on a child protection plan since Feb.He's extremely violent to me and his siblings.I've asked for help &support on many occasions from various sources & haven't received enough, my son is struggling as a result.This is a problem for many families & children across the UK.There is not enough knowledge on these conditions among professionals and so help and support cannot be given properly.
