Want to better support the Neurodivergent kids in your life, without falling for outdated myths? This episode is a must-listen.   “When a child is in distress, it is not the time to try and enforce boundaries and teach them a lesson... it's only going to lead to trauma, shame, and withdrawal.” Adina Levy   In this episode I cover: • Three common myths about neurodiversity affirming practice, and why they just don’t hold up • How to rethink structure, evidence, and communication in a way that truly centres the child • Why honouring all forms of communication, not just speech, is a radical and essential shift   Links and Resources mentioned:
