Just diagnosed

Mindreadingmum

Hi, my daughter is 11 and received her diagnosis yesterday. 

I have a question for any others who are diagnosed (self or official)  

if there was one thing someone could have told you when you were diagnosed what would it had been?

is there anything you wish you had known? 

thank you

  • The big thing I would like to have been told is that everything I do that appears 'odd' is a result of not being able to process stress and anxiety.     Literally everything can be boiled down to the hyper-anxiety of the "fear of the unknown" and all the stress that brings.

    Sort out all the unknowns, have backup plans, safety nets and support and everything else can be manageable.
