Hi folks,
Here's a list of links I WISH I'd had when my son was first going through the diagnostic process. After a year of almost paralyzing fear and worry, I've come to have a very different perspective on things...and some of these links were helpful in that process!
Please feel free to 'copy and paste' these off to someone you think would benefit from a more positive perspective...I think they're especially helpful for someone who's going through a difficult adjustment to a new diagnosis.
Peace,
STea
