Reading about my kid's diagnosis, so much clicks for me. But getting diagnosed = confronting my own limitations, losing the denial that's kept me functioning.

Self-awareness is terrifying.

Did you get your own diagnosis after your child's? What shifted?

Vet clinicians with one good question and watch how they react. Curiosity is a green flag; defensiveness is your answer.
