Today’s podcast episode applies to you regardless of your child’s diagnosis.
Maybe he or she hasn’t even been evaluated yet. Maybe your child has undergone testing and doesn’t quite fit into any box, but you are seeing evidence in your life that is putting your parent antennae up. You belong here too.
Today's topic is a trend that I've been seeing across the board with this population of parents to neurodiverse children.
It's a trend that I find problematic. I also relate to it very much because I've seen in my own life.
What I'm seeing is that parents of unique children want their child to thrive. However, they feel so demoralized by comparing themselves to everyone else's perfect families that it puts them into paralysis. It prevents them from asking for help because they feel shame and fear. It prevents them from raising their hand and letting people in their lives know they need support because they either don't feel at peace with where they're at yet, or they just don't know where to turn.
