EveryoneCN: Diagnosis

Should we test our other child?

Older kid diagnosed with autism. Younger one is 'fine' but shows some similar traits. Do we get them tested or let them be? Are we creating labels unnecessarily?

One diagnosis feels like opening a door to finding diagnoses everywhere.

If multiple kids in your family are neurodivergent, how did you decide who to test and when?
