If I had to write an About Me section for my social media this would be it I guess! Always here to keep it real for other parents of neurodivergent kids 💙 by @itsthatparent

I'm so much about protecting my peace that there are some people that I won't even go there with! What about you? 💬

Tbh I've always been the difficult one in every room, even before I had kids, that's just how my autism and ADHD show up 😬🙃 by @itsthatparent

Not medical advice! But feel free to ask about my experience 😊 by @itsthatparent

This topic was requested by so many of you, and I want to be upfront - it's not one I live myself. I have another adult at home to tag in, well, when he's available (so not during working hours!) and I know that makes a huge difference. So I've listened to what you've shared with me, and I hope I've done it justice. What would you add? 💙💬 by @itsthatparent

Which of these hits hardest for you? 💬 by @itsthatparent

Because they are of course 💙💙

So many of our kids grow up feeling like love is something they have to earn, by being quieter, stiller, easier. I want our neurodivergent kids to know they never had to. Share this for all the parents raising a child the world calls "too much" 🫶 by @itsthatparent

I'm just here to keep it real for you guys 😆 what would you add to this list? Help us all out and share! 💬 by @itsthatparent

This was a real loss to that school 😔

Has your kid had a really great teacher like this who has left the profession? 💬 by @itsthatparent

I unintentionally gave one of my kids the worst birthday ever when I made our activities a surprise for the day and they were all new things we had NEVER DONE 🫠 I've learnt so much since those days 🙈 never again! by @itsthatparent

It's not bad advice but it's just not as easy to implement as people make it sound when you are parenting multiple kids often with completely different needs. Wish it just came with practical tips on how to implement it in unideal circumstances 😆

Are there any others that you struggle with? 💬 by @itsthatparent

It can get really awkward and not to mention when they turn it back on you 🙃

This isn't a post about whether it's better to have a child who masks or one who doesn't. There are challenges with both. This is just my experience of not being believed because what you're saying doesn't match someone else's reality of how they experience your child.

Can you relate? 💬 by @itsthatparent
