Speaking from experience, there is no single, easy answer to your questions about specific measures and workarounds, because neurodiverse people are so, well, diverse. The common sense tips given elsewhere in this thread are worth trying. Keep what works. Discard what doesn't. Listen to professionals' advice, especially OTs and speech therapists. Their work is most applicable here. Don't listen - in fact, run away from - anyone who offers you a "cure", because they are trying to exploit you. There is no "cure" for neurodiversity. It's a difference, not an illness. The most important thing to do for your daughter is the most obvious one: Love her unconditionally. Everything else flows from that, you just do what it takes. What that is will be pretty obvious 99% of the time. The most important thing to do for yourself/selves is to be kind to yourself. You will need to advocate for your daughter as she grows up, and possibly beyond. You won't be effective at this if you're running on empty emotionally or financially. |
