The is a support group for parents of kids with "invisible" special needs that impact behavior, emotion, and family function. Based on the blog and Facebook page for the book _Easy to Love but Hard to Raise_, we offer commiseration, support, and been-there-done-that help for parents of kids with ADHD, ODD, OCD, PDD, FASD, SPD, and any number of other alphabet soup diagnoses that take the already difficult job of parenting and adds to the challenge.
