for me it's a been a recurring issue of pushing NT techniques on a child who just isnt NT. There have been many many times throughout her life where we worked with an issue only to find it was not something she was able to control. Other than that, just accept and enjoy your child for their uniqueness and always remember that NT children are not a breeze either and they often have issues our children do not like rule breaking, lying, sneaking behind your back, bullying, etc. No child is perfect. I'm very happy that my girl is not the norm. In many many many ways she is much better. We just have our challenges too and they are different.
