Listen Later

LISTENER NOTE: We openly discuss body parts, sex, and sexuality in this episode. You likely want to listen where you child cannot hear it.Feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to handle complex topics like sexuality and relationships with your neurodivergent kid? In this episode, I sit down with Amy Lang, MA, founder of Birds & Bees & Kids and a seasoned expert in sexual health education, specializing in neurodivergence.

Together, we discuss essential topics like:
  • How neurodivergent kids and teens process social cues and navigate puberty.
  • Addressing the stark reality of porn exposure and providing age-appropriate, explicit information about sex.
  • Strategies for open, shame-free communication with your child about their experiences and discoveries.
  • The importance of creating a supportive environment for exploring gender identity and sexual orientation.
This episode is packed with practical, step-by-step advice, from tailoring your conversations to suit your child's learning style, to using clear language that fosters safety and understanding. Amy offers actionable tips to help you build a neuro-affirming, trusting dialogue with your kid. We believe that with the right guidance, every conversation about these delicate topics can be a stepping stone to a more connected and confident relationship with your child.

Listen in for hope, inspiration, and the tools you need to navigate these conversations with confidence and compassion.
