Have you ever wrestled with the question of if, what, when, or how to talk with your child about their unique wiring or diagnosis? Maybe you’ve worried that telling them could hurt their confidence… or maybe you’ve hoped it could actually make a positive difference. Friend, you’re not alone in that tug of war.

In this episode, I’ll share why these conversations matter, what signs to look for that your child is ready for more understanding, and how to begin sharing in a way that builds self-awareness and confidence. You’ll also hear part of our family’s journey and the powerful moment when my son declared, “I’m ready to tell the world.”

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why talking to your child about their wiring can build confidence and resilience
  • Signs and signals that may show your child is ready for more understanding
  • Simple, affirming ways to start the conversation without overwhelming them
  • How ongoing conversations can lead to acceptance, self-advocacy, and pride in who they are
