On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp is joined by <a href="https://guidingexceptionalparents.com/about-us/">Dr. Sarah Wayland</a>, founder and owner of <a href="https://guidingexceptionalparents.com/">Guiding Exceptional Parents</a> and co-author of <a href="https://www.isthisautism.com/">Is This Autism.</a> Together they answer a parent whose child is exhibiting neurodivergent behaviors and, as such, their pediatrician recommended an evaluation. The letter writer is nervous that an evaluation will mean that their child will be seen as a diagnosis, not for the person she is. We also go over our week in triumphs and fails — and then, if you stick around for Slate Plus, we talk about what your kid actually means when they tell you ‘no.’ Join us on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/slateparenting/"> Facebook</a> and email us at momanddad@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes.
