What advice would you give to a new parent of a child with Hydrocephalus? More specifically, would you suggest we talk about it with them a lot while growing up? Or treat it as no big deal? I want to be mindful that some things may be harder for them, and give them credit, but at the same time don't want them to use it as a crutch.
Thank you for spreading awareness! It blows my mind that 1 in 1,000 children are born with this (even more adults diagnosed later in life) and yet no one around me in my family or social circle had ever heard of this condition.
