301: Helping Neurodivergent Kids Crack the Code of Thriving in a Neurotypical World, with Matt Zakreski, PsyD


Listen Later

In this episode of Beautifully Complex, I’m joined by Dr. Matt Zakreski, who shares compelling strategies from his new book, "Neurodiversity Playbook." We discuss how important it is to create a neuro-affirming environment that celebrates authenticity while equipping our kids with the social skills to thrive in a neurotypical world. You’ll learn how to replace the worry of 'fitting in' with the confidence of 'standing out' in their own unique way.

You'll gain step-by-step guidance on helping your child build a supportive community, fostering emotional growth while also growing their confidence and competence. With practical advice, we'll show you how to make those unspoken rules of social interaction more visible to level the playing field, ensuring your child feels safe, understood, and empowered.

Tune in for a warm and supportive conversation that ensures you're not alone on this journey. Together, we'll foster a sense of hope and possibility, offering actionable tips to help your neurodivergent child crack the code of a complex world. Listen now and take the first step towards building a brighter future for your family.
