The Neurodiverse Toolbox

Paige and Sheila talk about the anti-planner. Paige's just arrived. Psst...it is not a planner at all. Hopefully, there will be a part 2 after Paige tries it out. 

Paige and Sheila discuss great gifts for the holidays in absolutely no particular order. I also list some other ideas on my blog - Make Lives Easier This Holiday!  

Here are some links but other items we mention as a quick internet search. 

Calm Strips

Loop Earplugs

Bearaby weighted blankets

Weighted Hoodies

Monq - nicotine free aromatherapy 

Paige and Sheila discuss what is and isn't helpful to support your ND loved one. Paige was diagnosed late in the game so Sheila is definitely guilt of some of these early on. We figured it out eventually. 

Paige and Sheila discuss the risk of Postpartum Depression when mom has ADHD as well. You can prepare for it. 

Paige and Sheila discuss Oppositional Defiant Disorder as a co-morbid condition to ADHD. 

Paige and Sheila interview Dr. Katie with AustimNERD. We learn why it is important to have educational consultant who understands NDs, especially when looking to go to college. And so much more!

Paige and Sheila discuss Paige's wedding plans so far and decisions Paige has made to make her life easier. Plus Paige asks questions. While this episode doesn't follow are usual format of what Paige has learned about a specific topic, it is a typical conversation that we would have while Paige is trying to figure out what is her next step in a project. 

We also go on a tangent about what a part of a Latin Mass is called. Sheila is a Byzantine Catholic (we will let you look that up if you want) and Paige is a Roman Catholic. We apologize for that part, but we would just not in sync. If we were better podcasters we would have edited it out but if editing was required no podcast from us would ever see the light on day. 

Paige and Sheila talk about the benefits and drawbacks of using AI. Things to consider, when to use it, how to you it and what it won't do for you. 

Paige and Sheila had the pleasure of interviewing Tiffany Feingold. Guiding Bright Minds is a resource for parents who children our neurodiverse. Listen to Tiffany here and find more information at.
