Lina through her practice Show Up Psychology supports children, teens and adults navigating neurodivergence. We explore neurodivergence across all life stages including late diagnosis particularly in females and why labels can be helpful despite stigma. She breaks down the shift toward neurodiversity affirming practice focusing on identity, accommodations and adapting environments rather than forcing neurotypical behaviour. The conversation dives into parenting and family dynamics including unlearning discipline styles, emotional regulation, repair and more collaborative relationships. Lina also explains PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) as an anxiety driven autism profile often misunderstood as defiance and shares practical approaches built on rapport, safety and co regulation. We talk about diagnosis waitlists, NDIS challenges, workplace flexibility and the importance of parent self-care.
