I’m still figuring it out.
My son was diagnosed with Autism at age 11. Before that I KNEW he wasn’t neurotypical, but not how, exactly. It wasn’t ADHD alone, or anxiety, or defiance (although it is that as well)
Autism as a diagnosis helped us all get a framework to understand his unique brain.
Autism does NOT change that he is an affectionate, funny, intelligent kid who has as much potential as anyone else.
