Looking Back at 2025
2025 was a busy
My daughter officially got diagnosed with ADHD and Autism level 2. It was such a relief to know, but at the same time very difficult because I know that life can be a bit harder for neurodivergent people. I had suspected since she was 3 years old that she might have ADHD, but it wasn’t until she was getting ready to start kindergarten, that I suspected she might also have autism. A few months after her diagnosis, she started ABA therapy.
Last year, my daughter and I got to travel down to San Diego for a few days. It was the first time we traveled anywhere just the two of us.
