with the fact that your child is different? I have known for a long time that my oldest had some major issues. We ignored them for a long time. This last spring we finally took him to a new dr and expressed our concerns and had him looked at for ADHD. He was 4 at the time and his pediatrician suggested an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for sensory integration. She said at his age she didn't really want to label him ADHD just yet. We were ok with that and he started Occupational Therapist (OT). But of course now we know he has ADHD at least and sensory processing disorder (SPD). But it's still hard for me to accept that he is going to have a hard time...always. And also with my youngest. Having Apraxia will always be with him. He will always have to think more to say bigger words. I don't think my hubby has really come to terms with it either. That both of our boys have special needs. Did anyone use family counselors or anything to help with it?
