83: The Myth of the 'Normal' Brain: A New View on ADHD and Autism [Parenting Neurodivergence Series]


Listen Later


Every brain is unique, and that's something to celebrate. Unfortunately, that isn’t always what happens—at home, in the classroom, in the workplace. It’s time we explore how understanding and embracing neurodiversity can transform our relationships, parenting approaches, and therapeutic practices.

As a therapist and parent, I've seen firsthand how recognizing neurodivergent traits can open doors to deeper connections and personal growth. Whether you're a parent wondering about your child's unique way of experiencing the world, or a therapy client seeking to understand yourself better, this conversation is for you.

In this new series on parenting neurodivergence, we'll talk about real-life experiences from Silicon Valley to school classrooms, sharing stories that highlight the beauty and challenges of neurodiversity. You'll learn practical ways to support yourself and your loved ones, and how to advocate effectively in educational settings.

Together, we'll explore:

  • How to recognize and nurture the strengths in neurodivergent traits
  • Compassionate strategies for navigating family dynamics
  • Ways to build self-acceptance and confidence
  • Practical tips for creating supportive environments at home and school
  • This is just the first episode of this series, where I’ll share why this conversation is so important for parents, therapy clients, therapists, and anyone who wants to be able to better support all the different humans we encounter every day.

    Remember, there's no one "right" way to think or be. By embracing our differences, we create space for everyone to thrive.

    Let's learn together how to create a world that celebrates the unique wiring of every brain.
