Autismo e TDAH: como será o envelhecimento da neurodivergência? | PODCAST AMAR RESIDENCIAL #032

In this episode of the Amar Residencial Podcast, we welcome Dione, a pediatrician and daughter of Dona Maria do Carmo, one of the longest-standing residents of Residencial Amar. In a frank and moving conversation, she shares the part that almost no one sees: the weight of making difficult decisions when old age arrives, when living together at home becomes unsustainable, and when the family needs to choose the best path—even if it hurts. Dione talks about her mother's story (strength, work, and perseverance), about the signs that only make sense later ("the shoemaker's children go barefoot"), and about the real process of adapting to the residence: resistance, fear, routine, hygiene, safety—and what changed when Dona Maria do Carmo began to have more social life, activities, and professional care. In addition, Dione brings up a current and urgent topic: neurodivergence (autism and ADHD) in the Brazilian public health system (SUS), the enormous demand in schools, and the question that almost no one wants to face: what will aging be like for this population? If you are (or will be) caring for an elderly parent or relative—this episode can help you see paths forward with more clarity and less guilt. Watch until the end and share with someone who is going through a difficult decision. Follow us on Instagram:   / podcast_amar   Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/31sjhrp...
