          All the encouragements of ‘he’ll grow out of it,’ and
          murmurings of ‘geez, what kind of parent is she?’ came crashing
          down to a diagnosis of ADHD, sensory integration disorder, and

 Story
          expressive language disorder. We couldn’t finish a playdate
          without someone getting hurt from an impulsive outburst or
          everyone witnessing a tantrum in full force.
          I started attending the PHP LD/ADHD
          support group and lectures every month; I cried over
          PHP library books and found amazing community resources.
          I shared my experience with parents going through the same
          thing with their children. Parents Helping Parents was there
          the entire time, helping me to become an informed parent and
          empowered advocate for my son with special needs.
          Slowly I learned what to say, what to do, and what to
          expect to maintain peace in my house and in my heart. I shared
          that valuable information with my husband and daughter, and
          then with other families. As my son grew, the Aspergers and
          bipolar diagnoses came. Today, my son is in college. The PHP
          community became my helpful, extended family. All is well one
          day at time with Parents Helping Parents.
