-How hard it is to meet the need of your other children
-Educating your children about your ND kid and teaching them how to advocate for themselves
-How to push back feelings of shame
-When she realized she needed to ask the hard questions
-The stress of trying new medications
-When you and your child's doctor don't agree - and what you can do about it
