Obviously my daughter suspects she has adhd and autism, but we just got the official diagnosis from a psychologist. Was hoping anyone could share their experience when telling their child it’s official.

Being 12 it’s going to be a tough pill to swallow initially, but do we treat it like an empowerment or a disability.

Hard to know.

Edit: Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. Appreciate all your insights and advice. I share a lot of her traits but like many have managed to get to 50 years old without being diagnosed. It has been a learning curve about myself as well.
