Glad to meet you. I hope you find warmth and comfort here on this list. I
just hope my two boys with special needs don't and won't feel the pain that
you must have felt. My oldest is on my watchful eye though because of a
depression disorder. God be with you and all that you endure.
Deborah mom of 4- Vicktor 8(severe complex ADHD,depressive disorder, ODD,
multiple LDs, developmental delay, and possible PDD), Gabriel 5 NDA,
Cassandra 3 NDA, Zachary 22 months(microcephaly, ACM, global delays,
non-verbal, hypotonic, SI Dysfunction, chronic sinusitis, conductive hearing
loss, and more to come)
