Newbie here. 17 yo daughter (high school senior) was just officially diagnosed recently. She will begin medication next week, and we are connecting with CBT therapist to begin soon. I am digging into research seeking to understand and to also see how I can best support.

I am eager to get some structures and systems in place at home to support in any way I can. But so far, so many tips seem to be focused on younger kids. Ex. It’s hard to allow for task mirroring when she won’t even come out of her room to see what I’m doing.

I know have lots to learn but in the meantime I thought I’d check in with parents of older teens to get some good tips.

Thanks in advance!
