This is very, very true.

But where I’m at in my frustration (thus mildly irritated at the suggestion that long covid in kids is just parental projection or failure) is how we can just calmly talk about how we all know multiple people who are navigating incredibly complex conditions, especially neurologically challenged children, and discuss how some things are helpful and some things are not, while not fully acknowledging the elephant in the room: the fact that something is destroying the kids and and quite rapidly. I can fight my way through medical, psychological, and behavioral therapists (and have been at it for many years now), but until we’re willing to figure out what’s happening and stop possible root causes of this mess, this will just continue to get worse.
