"Everything my children have been diagnosed with has been me going to a doctor and saying, 'This is what's going on. And I need you to confirm it.'"

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Lahren. I loved this whole conversation and I know you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-Lahren's journey of raising three neurodivergent boys
-Challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children in getting a diagnosis
-Lack of understanding and support from school and healthcare professionals
-Importance of early diagnosis and access to appropriate services for neurodivergent individuals
-Lahren's experience in advocating for her son's needs and fighting for the help he needed
-Struggles faced by Lahren's middle son and youngest son, including their diagnoses of ADHD, Tourette's, epilepsy, autism, and cerebral palsy
-The strength and resilience of parents of neurodivergent children
-The importance of gaining a deeper understanding of the experiences of neurodivergent individuals and their families.
