I hope you are keeping safe and well. Apologies in advance for another lengthy email! But, I wanted to follow up on the email below and about DS this week.

Thank you so much for a lovely chat yesterday and apologies that DD was so loud during the session! Also, thank you to you and S2 for the attached ADHD prescreening questionnaire. Both DH and I agree with the comments and we are happy to send it as it is. Would you like me to…
