First, breathe. You do not have to solve the whole future this week. Start with three things: understand the report in plain language, identify the one situation causing the most stress right now, and tell your child in a way that protects their dignity. A diagnosis is not a verdict. It is a map you can slowly learn to use.

A diagnosis is information, not a verdict. It took me a while to believe that, but it's true.
