Candy & Dopamine for Neurodivergent People
It’s that time of year where candy is suddenly everywhere. Many neurodivergent families find that this constant access can result in behaviors like hoarding, binging, or lying that are surprising, confusing, and stressful. This isn’t because your kid is bad or trying to break rules, it’s because of dopamine! So today we get into how the dopamine works, what is different about dopamine for neurodivergent people and how we can support ourselves and our kids.
