Feeling relieved
from Life as an educator and single mom Hosted by Sharon Nicole
The last few years have been difficult in regards to my daughter being diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, PTSD and depressive disorder. Regardless of all the treatment plans in place, we still ended up back at square one. The struggle of finding a doctor to understand my concerns and offer options of finding the right help for my child was difficult. Never thought about my daughter having ASD but I had at least two therapist point things out to me to further investigate. After several referrals and finding a reputable clinic, I had some progress but COVID delayed her evaluation by 4 months. I didn't feel sad or disappointed when I learned the results but I felt relieved because now I know what she has and how to move forward. My oldest daughter has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and now the road to building a better support system for her begins. Parents please continue to be an advocate for your child because only you know your child well enough. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise when it comes to treatment, education, etc. Stay persistent and never give up!!!
