I can't remember the source, but I once read a study that showed that on average there is at least 1 person in every family that struggles with some form OCD, ADD, ADHD, ASD, SPD...the list goes on.

I honestly don't have words to describe the daily effort to function. But if you have experienced it, you know it, and this is for you. You are not alone.
