## Caption

The day my daughter stopped going to school, I thought we just needed to get through a rough patch.

I didn’t know her brain was in the middle of building a case.

Every avoided morning. 
Every early pickup. 
Every “just this once.”

Filed. Stored. Confirmed.

By the time I understood what was actually happening - the nervous system piece, the threat response, why pushing harder was making it worse - we’d lost months.

You don’t need to lose those months.
