Hello everyone, I'm new and I'm hoping to learn new ways to try and help my daughter out with some of her delays and making friends

Hi welcome to the group! I have a 4 year old ds. This is a wonderful group of ladies.

Thank you and my daughter is 11yrs old but no one is telling me what is wrong with my daughter and it feels like everything my daughter is going through is my fault nor I kno how to help her...I feel like a horrible mom

Welcome to the group!  Have you had your daughter evaluated by a developmental pediatrician or a neurologist?  What are her issues - maybe someone here has been through something similar and can point you in the right direction.  Please don't feel like a horrible mom - you are trying to get her the help she needs, which makes you the best mom in the world.  :-)

She has been tested plenty of times but nothing...she has done eeg, ekg, mri, genetics, thyroid, plenty of blood work and now she will be going for an autism test toward the end of february. I honestly don't kno way other test are out there to figure out what she has so I can help her because she tells me she want to be a veterinarian when she grows up

I know this is a difficult time for you finding answers. I have been trying to find answers for my own overall disability, and it is not easy at all. I have some clues thanks to my father giving me family history. However, it still leaves gaps in knowledge. I will include some resources which should help you help your daughter.
