[quote=Anonymous]OP proceed with care here. I was similar to your daughter at 11, except I had no idea what diagnosis existed. I just told my mother that something was wrong. I knew something was wrong. but I had no idea what. My mother thought I was perfect because I was "gifted" and had friends. So I was misdiagnosed with anxiety. Three decades later, and she believes me now. I still don't have a clear diagnosis( I am not looking for one), but it's clear that I am atypical. My mother regrets not listening to me. There was probably nothing she could do for me at the time. But she wishes she was not dismissive of my concerns. She told my siblings that one of her biggest parenting mistakes was not trusting my judgment back then. She is a good mother, and I don't blame her for dismissing my concerns as anxiety. However, my 11 year old self would have loved to have my mother by my side while I tried to figure out my issues. [/quote]
