[quote=Anonymous]My kid is late diagnosed autistic. I suspect my cousin flagged it earlier on. She’s a social worker who works with kids with various needs. The closest she got to alerting me (and I was one who might have been open to it) was recommending a podcast for parents of kids in the spectrum. It’s called TILT. I couldn’t figure out why she had recommended it because I initially didn’t think it applied to us. Looking back - three years later, with what I know now - I see she was gently trying to steer me in that direction. My kid was 8 at the time and we’d just gotten an ADHD diagnosis. I see my cousin once a year. Eventually through reading enough on DCUm and listening to podcasts I came to this conclusion myself and requested another neuropsych. Another path may be the kid will self diagnosis based in TikTok - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. [/quote]
