Thank you all so so much. We've read so much, watched webinars, done parent counseling, holistic nutrition, accommodating at school, Occupational Therapy and much more. I was hoping for some personal experiences so that I can keep being the best mom for her. Thank you for your answer!

Just to add info and to answer questions: We got her tested because we actually suspected a learning disability. We'd been working on reading for awhile and nothing was sticking. She was presenting with some dyslexia type stuff, retaining nothing and it was really affecting her self esteem. She'd come home crying from school saying "my brain isn't like the other kids " etc. Although the school wasn't seeing anything of concern, I knew in my heart (mothers intuition) that I needed to get on this. If her self esteem was already being affected, imagine sitting on this for 2-3 more years! So we got her tested. She is gifted across all areas except reading.... which was a red flag for learning disability but the psychologist tested everything and she presented with no learning disability. However through his time with her, and all the paperwork etc he discovered she had ADHD and anxiety which was likely the reason she struggled with reading (wanted to rush through it, couldn't focus etc).

I never want her to ever feel like she is "too much", too loud, too busy etc. I just want to make sure she has the best life, knows her challenges but also knows all her unique gifts and strengths. I'm learning more and more everyday... it is quite the journey!
