The autism diagnosis that set me free

As a parent, I never know if I’m doing a good job or not. And I won’t know until my kids grow up and leave the nest. For someone that suffers with anxiety and depression it can feel like so much pressure to try and do everything right. Did they eat enough vegetables? Am I teaching them the right things? Are they social? Did I let them watch too much television? Was I too hard on them? As a result, I constantly fear that what I do and say to my kids may or may not be “the right thing.”
