Forms on forms on forms ASQs, ADOS, etc – questionnaires and appointments. Does your child do this? Or this? How about this? As soon as we let go of the NO and allow ourselves to view this as a “not yet” – that pressure, she starts to fade (at least in this facet of life). Neurodivergent children are on their own unique timeline. What might look like a "no" today is often just a skill still developing, an ability waiting to be unlocked in their own time and way. Shifting from "can't" to "not yet" empowers both parents and children to grow without the weight of impossible expectations. Instead of seeing a barrier, we see potential – an open door to future success. This mindset opens space for progress, patience, and more compassionate understanding. And with every small step forward, we learn that “yet” can be a bridge to incredible breakthroughs.
