Episode #4: Supporting a Neurodivergent Teen

Parenting a teenager with autism, ADHD, or an intellectual disability, or even one that is a bit snoody? I am certain you had moments that sounded like: “What am I supposed to do right now with you right now!?” “It is not that hard!!” “What is wrong with you?!” Let’s take a step back and reflect that maybe your teen is overwhelmed, burned out, and overly exhausted—but no matter what you do, it doesn’t seem to work. If this is you… I want to start by saying this to yourself: You’re not a failure as a parent. You’re navigating a system that often isn’t designed for your child and a situation you were not prepared for. In this episode, we’re going to break this down in a way that makes sense—what’s really going on with your teen, and more importantly, what may help.
