Today's Episode:

Are you feeling overwhelmed after a diagnosis for your teen?

Struggling to manage challenging behaviors?

Or perhaps you’re experiencing a sense of loss as you adjust to this new reality?

Parenting a neurodivergent teen—or being neurodiverse yourself—can feel overwhelming, complex, and incredibly daunting.

This week I am joined by Duncan Casburn, also known as PDA Dad UK , a You Tuber and SEND advocate who has created a thriving online community. Duncan shares his personal journey of raising a neurodivergent daughter with autism and PDA, shedding light on the everyday challenges of a neurodiverse family and how he’s learned to navigate this unexpected path.

In this episode we dive into:

- The impact of neurodiversity on mental health

- Feelings of isolation & inadequacy

- The journey to acceptance

- School avoidance & masking

- The harmful effect of parent-blame

- The hidden magic within

It’s a juicy one!

So join us to explore the importance of continuous learning and adapting as a parent, how to celebrate & embrace the differences, and ultimately what it takes to navigate the complexities of a neurodivergent's world (it’s simpler than you think!)
