Raising a child (or influencing the life of one) who is dealing with autism, OCD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and learning/behavioral issues is not easy. Oftentimes, hundreds of hours of research are needed to understand why these problems exist and why they are reaching epidemic levels across the globe.
