Meltdowns, mysteries, and multiple diagnoses
Everyone Gets a Juice Box: For Parents of Neurodivergent Kids
Parenting can feel like a detective mission, especially when your kid has more than one diagnosis.
Mom (and yes, a very insightful therapist) Camila de Onis shares her story of tracking her daughter’s meltdowns, sensory triggers, and unexpected behaviors to figure out that her daughter has ADHD and OCD — and is academically gifted to boot.
From mysterious school episodes to blowups at home, she takes listeners through the twists, dead ends, and “aha” moments of seeking evaluations, understanding diagnoses, and learning how to help a kid whose brain is a truly fascinating puzzle.
