Not everything. See, your comment is caused by simple ignorance.

All of that, but mostly something like CBT or another type of therapy to form healthy coping strategies.

Looking back as a man diagnosed at a much later age I definitely think my life would have been easier if I would have been diagnosed earlier in life. My parents simply never saw the signs, or actively ignored them. It was only when I wasn’t doing well in school that they intervened, and only to improve my academic performance. I guess they didn’t want to have a child with issues. I was yelled at by teachers for always being the last one to turn in my assignment, being too messy, etc. I didn’t have many friends, was bullied and basically always felt like an unwanted outsider as a kid.

I think I would have been better off having some help improving my coping strategies from a young age. I’m not saying your kid will face the same things that I did, but if it was me, I would have liked to have some help growing up.

I’m still a (very) high functioning adult right now, but it cost me a lot of effort, stress and time to get here – a lot more than the vast majority of my peers. I still have issues that most of them simply do not even have to think about.
