My daughter is nearly 3 and recently diagnosed with level 1 ASD and selective mutism. She is smart, funny and kind - but I see her struggle to use her voice at school and how she socializes is by imitating her peers. I know she is young and has so much potential, but as her NT mom, my heart aches and I fear the road ahead. I’d love to hear some stories about how the wonderful women in this thread have managed any of these situations. While I would appreciate honest stories of your journey, hoping to hear some encouraging things if possible 💜
