❓To diagnose or not to diagnose.... is that the question?
If you have a child who experiences the world with great intensity and you suspect they may be neurodivergent, sometimes receiving a diagnosis can be a powerful gateway to greater understanding and receiving some supports.
However, this is a very individual decision... and rarely will a diagnosis provide you with the big picture in terms of what is at the root of any troubling symptoms being experienced. Neither does it encompass the unique beauty and gifts of the child standing in front of you.
