High achiever, well-liked, no visible struggle. But at home: anxiety, sensory meltdowns, perfectionism that's crushing. Doctors: 'She seems fine.' How do I get evaluation for invisible suffering?

Success hides need.

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