[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what help did your daughters on the spectrum get? Does therapy help them? Medication? What helped?[/quote] I'm the mom of the 18 year old who posted above. Medication, first for anxiety and ADHD and later a mood stabilizer, was crucial. Encouraging her special interests and finding ways that she could shine in a community separate from school was probably the best thing we did. One thing that was important for me was letting go of the idea that I could ever find The Thing that would make her not autistic, and instead embracing her goals, rather than mine.[/quote]
