[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any support for nova parents? I was once directed to a FB group but there was really no depth to it.[/quote]
The thread about joining a church was on target. There really is no such thing as a solid support group that is secular.[/quote]

Lol No!! I have been a church goer my entire life. We sent our kids to the school attached to our church. They could not handle my sons adhd and made him out to be the bad kid. I was excluded from parent groups because my kid was wild. Ive never felt more judged and it stung extra hard because youd think its a place that would accept all of gods creation. We have received so so so much more support in a public school and have stopped attending mass altogether because of the way we felt through the school. Im glad your experience is different but i would never offer this advice. So often faith communities are blind to those with differences. They have narrow boxes that kids belong in. This is not the place to turn for understanding of mental disabilities.

I will say growing up my church was very supportive of kids with physical disabilities. I recall volunteering for the classes that helped watch disabled kids while parents were attending services. My own parents babysat for other families with disabled kids often. But stuff like anxiety or adhd or ocd.... no.[/quote]
