Should parents of neurodivergent children embrace their own neurodiversity?
Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Neurodistinct (ND) conditions such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia are genetic and hereditary. In anonymous surveys of parents attending my “parenting exceptional children” courses, 79% say that they are or think they might be neurodivergent in some way, and 85% think the other parent might be.
So, should parents of neuro-divergent children be encouraged to embrace their own neurodiversity?
Joining Shane to discuss is Nessa Hill, a founding member and CEO of Neurodiversity Ireland.
