Both of us have spiraled down the rabbit hole of diagnosis with our children. As a parent, when you first hear about autism, you don’t know what you don’t know. You find yourself asking, “Are these behaviors normal?” many, many times. What even is “normal”, anyway?
In today’s episode, we talk about the term “diagnosis”, the data around autism diagnoses, and our rabbit hole experiences with multiple diagnoses of autism, Tourette’s, OCD, and more with our children. If you’re currently experiencing this with your own children, we see you. We’ve been there.
