As Kate says, self-care is vital to avoid burnout. Keep a loving connection with your child - that's all that truly matters! Be wary of which therapy and how much therapy your child does. Therapies should be fun and supportive, not operate under the guise of changing or "normalizing" your child in any way. You may inadvertently overwhelm them and cause trauma and resentment. Neurodivergence is nothing to be ashamed of; disclose their diagnosis to them and help them find their tribe as early as possible.
