[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just received our 8 year old daughter's diagnosis of ASD and ADHD. We would appreciate some guidance from parents who have been where we are now. How did you tell your kid about their diagnosis? Anything you would do differently? Thank you.[/quote] Our daughter has been diagnosed first with OCD, then with ADHD. She may have ASD as well, but professionals disagree about it. We told her about the first two, since there was no disagreement, but not the third. We have also told her that she has many challenges in her young life, but we will do everything we can to help her overcome them, and in the end it will make her a better person. This seemed to work well, she understands what she has and is even interested in learning more about it. [/quote]
