I was told many times not to put a personal, especially relating to mental, issue on SOP. However, I cannot proceed my statement without my son's diagnosis with autism. At the same time I graduated as Ph.D. majoring in cognitive psychology, my young son was diagnosed. I became a full-time mom juggling with his therapy schedules. But, my advisor allowed me to use research associate title (non-funded part time)to publish and join in the academia without lapse. While I stayed at home, I kept publishing to scientific journals. One of them has been cited 74 times since 2010. The reason I want to join in clinical psychology came from my son's diagnosis. Do you think this mention will undermine my professional statement?
