Stigma? I would have killed for a diagnosis when I was young. It would have made my school life so much better, I wouldn’t have wondered why I couldn’t do what my peers did in half the time.
You don’t need to medicate but at least explain to your daughter why she might be different and help with some coping mechanisms. I was never given that chance because my parents decided that I didn’t need the “stigma”.
Yeah, stigma. Your experience doesn't invalidate mine.
If it interferes with her school, we'll probably have her tested. She may not even have it, and there's no rush. For now she just gets to be who she is, no labels.
