Managed recovery stage.... joined consulting only when he was 12, My husband is very hands on in helping in every way, felt it would be manageable and I could focus on my career...teenage and high school hit us harder with force. But this WFH and online school is a blessing in disguise in managing his anxiety and associated tantrums !!! But overall he’s taking AP classes though it’s a struggle, working hard on SATs and teaching him to clean and cook simple things around...: we have come a loooong way from the start, no two child are the same, as a mom/dad don’t ever ever give up, no one will understand what we go through and there are times you feel lonely, but we have to be strong and advocate for our child..
