• 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
