Nah I wouldn’t say that. I’m 16 and the only reasons I’m going there are because my parents want it and because it’s free and doesn’t cost anything....

Early intervention!! That will teach you and your child learn a lot about the diagnosis and ways to manage it, together. Early intervention is free from birth to 3, just a fun fact. As a PWS, my paren...

No, no event either physical trauma or stress related. It has been very sudden. We almost took her to the ER because of how quickly she changed, but saw her GP instead. She said she is healthy otherwi...

My mom discredits it by saying “at least you don’t have cerebral palsy,” so I can’t really talk about it. She does spend money on therapy and devices to help so I can’t be mad about it...

Should I send my son to therapy?
