Neurodiversity in Your Home

How can you connect and find peace in your family when you don't feel you can reach your child or even understand what they need at times? What happens when the intensity of parenting is too high and your own needs are overlooked?

​

Many caretakers push through exhaustion because they feel they "should" be able to handle everything or they feel they don't have a choice. Burnout doesn't mean failure. It means you have been intensely giving for a long period of time.

 

It's okay to free frustrated, tired, or even resentful at times. It doesn't mean you love your family any less. But getting support and learning more about your family's needs is extremely helpful.

Neurodiversity is a concept that acknowledges and celebrates the unique ways in which our brains function. By understanding and embracing our diverse cognitive profiles, we can create environments that foster success for everyone. Having a natural curiosity to deeply understand each person's needs, especially in a family system, helps us to build skills that are lagging and limit the anxiety and stress that cause breakdowns. The fight or flight response is a clue we should use to help develop deeper fundamental shifts to sustain healthy behavior and responses.
