Anyone else with autism or dyspraxia (DCD) in the family?

My three sons all have ADHD, plus the oldest and youngest deal with dyspraxia. The middle guy has autism and epilepsy as well. Full house of diagnoses! ;)

Sensory overload and emotional regulation used to be the biggest challenges. Time management and the possibility of screen addiction seem to be the recent problems on the horizon! As usual, I come up with strategies the kids can use, explain things to them, organise the household as much as possible, and keep believing that God's put me in the right place at the right time. :)
