Ross Jones shares his profound journey of discovering his ADHD at age 36 and how this diagnosis transformed his understanding of himself, his relationships, and his approach to parenting his neurodivergent children.

• Learning to recognize the difference between tasks you don't like versus tasks that are genuinely challenging for your neurodivergent brain
• Navigating the complex emotions that come with receiving an adult ADHD diagnosis
• Understanding how ADHD affects relationships and finding better ways to communicate needs
• Creating systems to manage household conflicts around different needs for order and organization
• Supporting neurodivergent children by validating their experiences while helping them develop self-compassion
• How Ross's personal journey inspired him to create Schoolio, an AI-powered educational platform designed specifically for neurodivergent learners
• Using technology to cultivate curiosity and eliminate judgment from the learning process
• The importance of helping children recognize that challenges don't define their worth
• Developing self-awareness as a parent to avoid triggering emotional dysregulation in your children
