Plain English. Peer led. No judgement. This site was built by an ND parent who got tired of being gaslit, bounced between services, and told to just cope. Everything here is the stuff I wish I had when school went sideways and the system got loud. You do not need to read everything. Just pick the door that matches what is happening right now.
