#50 Focusing on Strengthens Rather Than Deficits
Interview with Guest Speaker- Andrew Fuller
Author of the book Neuroadvantage- The Strengthens-based Approach to Neurodivergence.
In this interview, I’m joined by my our guest speaker Andrew Fuller — a clinical psychologist, ffamily therapist, and author who has worked with over 3,500 schools and thousands of young people and families across Australia and internationally. He specialises in resilience, learning, and strengths-based approaches to supporting children and adolescents, particularly those who are neurodivergent. Andrew is the author of numerous bestselling books, including Neuroadvantage, and is recognised for his engaging, practical strategies that help young people thrive.
We talk about:
- How can parents reframe parenting a neurodivergent child to focus on strengths rather than comparison or grief?
- How do parents balance celebrating strengths with supporting challenges like anxiety or sensory needs?
- How can parents guide their child toward pathways that align with their unique strengths?
- Which of the six key skills should parents prioritise first, and how does it support growth?
- What practical strategies help parents nurture strengths and advocate for them at school?
