What’s really going on with my kid? ADHD, OCD, or something else? | Everyone Gets a Juicebox

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.
