Hellobee Boards

We suspected our daughter was on the spectrum, and it was very emotionally difficult (we found out later that she had a sensory disorder, which has a lot of overlapping characteristics). But the biggest redeeming thing in my mind was that we had caught it early - and that by doing something, we could have a big impact on her development.

If someone had pointed out their concern to me, I would totally have been open to it. I actually had a vast feeling of relief in after Bee and I first started considering the diagnosis, because I had always felt in my gut that something was "off" in our daughter but hadn't put it all together. In the end, it turned out to be a sensory issue - and with early intervention and some changes in how we parent, our daughter has totally flourished.
