In this episode of Beyond the Spectrum – Conversations with Parents on Autism and Beyond, we sit down with Kerri — a teacher-turned-mum who shares her deeply personal journey of parenting her neurodivergent son while discovering her own ADHD along the way.

Kerri talks about:

• Navigating life transitions and multiple moves
• Creating an environment where her son feels safe and understood
• The challenges of getting a diagnosis when your child "masks" well
• Reparenting herself to break cycles of generational discipline
• Building co-regulation skills and fostering emotional awareness
• Choosing alternative education paths, including homeschooling and small schools
• The importance of finding your tribe and connecting with other parents on the same journey

Kerri’s story is a powerful reminder that every child — and every parent — has a unique path. Her honesty and openness shine a light on the often unspoken struggles and triumphs of neurodivergent parenting.

Tune in for heartfelt insights, practical wisdom, and a big dose of hope.
