Parenting Neurodivergent Humans

There is a common misconception that neurodivergent kids “outgrow” their neurodivergence. But neurodivergence is how your brain is wired. Neurodivergent kids become neurodivergent adults. So this week, Dr. Morgan, Breann & Erica talk about their lives as neurodivergent adults: how their thinking about their neurodivergence has changed over the years, what accommodations they use as adults, and what they would tell their younger self if they could. 
Our next coffee chat is coming up next Friday, March 27th! It’s just for Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ subscribers. Be sure to join so you don’t miss it!

Neurodivergent kids and teens often have patterns of development that look "uneven" compared to their neurotypical peers. They might have some intellectual, physical, and or emotional abilities that are behind their peers, others that are ahead, and some that are right "on track". Today, we are digging into all things asynchronous development: what it looks like in practice, why it's so common among neurodivergent people, and what we can do to support.

One of you sent in a great question about how to parent kids who have very different needs. Whether you have a mix of neurodivergent and neurotypical kids or multiple neurodivergent kids who are very different, it's a lot to balance and juggle. So, this week, we are dedicating an entire episode to talking about it.

This week, we are talking about something most neurodivergent people and families struggle with at some point: self-esteem. 
We talk about how being neurodivergent in a neurotypical society can negatively impact self-esteem and five things we can do about it. 

We talk through how and why being neurodivergent can impact self-esteem and then discuss five things you can do to support healthy self-esteem.
