Back-to-school season can be exciting — but also stressful, especially for families raising neurodivergent kids. Parents may find themselves navigating new routines, advocating for classroom support, and helping their kids manage big emotions. On this episode of Just Asking, we take your questions on raising and supporting neurodivergent children. Joining us are Adelle Purdham, mom to her daughter Elyse who has Down Syndrome and author of 'I Don’t Do Disability And Other Lies I’ve Told Myself', and Dr. Teresa Bennett, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at McMaster Children’s Hospital and researcher at the Offord Centre for Child Studies.
