Practical Strategies for Neurodivergent Families: Navigating Daily Life with ADHD and Autism


Listen Later

In this episode I’m sharing some of the practical strategies that help us navigate daily life in a neurodiverse family. From preparing for visitors staying in our home to the magic of The Fun Bag and finding ways to support our kids through meltdowns, these are simple but effective tools that make a big difference.


Meltdowns can be one of the toughest moments for both kids and caregivers, and I talk about some of the ways we’ve learned to respond with more patience, understanding, and preparation. If this is something you’re working through, I also mention my resource Behind the Tears, which takes a deeper look at meltdowns—why they happen, how to support your child, and what to do in the aftermath. You can find more information [insert link or direction to resource].


I also want to take a moment to recognise and thank the people who support neurodivergent individuals and families. Whether you’re a teacher, therapist, friend, or family member, your support is so important—and I see you. We need a village, and I’m so grateful for those who show up, listen, and help make the world a more understanding and inclusive place.


This episode is packed with practical insights that I hope will be helpful for you, whether you’re a neurodivergent individual yourself, a parent, or someone wanting to better support the people in your life. Tune in, take what resonates, and as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts—connect with me on Instagram or join The Unfinished Community to keep the conversation going!
