This episode I reflect on my experiences shared over the past year in the ADHD Mums podcast, I am reminded of the challenges and success faced by neurodiverse families like mine. Throughout the episodes, I have emphasized the importance of neuro affirming approaches, acceptance, and understanding for individuals with ADHD and Autism. My journey has been marked by insights into the NDIS process, therapy fatigue, and the impact of medication on behavior and family dynamics.

One key takeaway from my podcast journey is the significance of self-awareness, compassion, and individualized approaches in supporting neurodiverse individuals and families. I have learned to trust my instincts, prioritize self-care, and seek professionals who align with my values and beliefs. Through sharing personal experiences and insights, I aim to empower other parents navigating similar challenges.

As I continue to explore topics such as advocating for children with ADHD, navigating school environments, and promoting self-care, I hope to provide a safe space for discussions and reflections on neurodiversity. My journey with the podcast has been enlightening, challenging, and ultimately rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to share my learnings and insights with the ADHD Mums community.
