I found a fb group of local parents of children with adhd.  The "leader" is a co-ordinator for the local learning disabilities association which has offices in a specialized school, so she is able to host meet-ups there.  I decided to go to the next one and took B with me.  They had a games room and an animal room which was a big hit.

Two things about this meet-up.  The first thing is I realized that B's diagnosis of adhd and odd is anything from severe.  I wouldn't hesitate to categorize him as mild.  So this again make me thing about his coding at school "severe emotional and behavioural". It must have been done that way for funding purposes.

The second thing is, as adhd can have a genetic component, three of the moms openly admitted to having been dx as an adult, I could hardly get a word in, ever during my time to introduce myself and tell our story.  It was constant interruption! 

Overall though it was good to go.  I could have easily stayed at home but I didn't. 

So today I don't feel as discouraged about B's dx.
