Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 271: Suicide and Suicidal Tendencies in Neurodivergent Teens & Children, with Dr. Matt Zakreski · 2 Nov 2021 podcast

I know where I'm at, where my skill level is.

And I think this problem is bigger than my skill level.

So I'm gonna bring in someone who can help me, right?

And to tell your kids, like, that's not because you're broken.

It's not because I'm I can't handle you.

It's because

This is a problem.

that is so important that I'm gonna call all the people, all the Avengers, right, to to my team here because I'd rather have too many people here than not enough.

That kind of humility, that kind of acknowledgement that there's a thing we can't do for our kids is really scary.

I was having a conversation like this a couple months ago with a a parent who is a pretty big deal heart surgeon.

And she was saying that um her child is you know, has been so back and forth on suicidal ideation for a while and it it bothers her to no end that she can't fix it.

You know, she really dragged her feet on getting her therapy.

And I pointed out that like if I had a problem with my kid's heart, I would call her.

Right.

I mean, like I you're the person I'm gonna call for this.

And it's okay to have a specialist outside of your your own skill set for a big problem.

You know, I

I wouldn't know at all how to fix a broken leg.

I would know how at all to fix an arrhythmia.

But if your kid has suicidal thoughts, you know, I'm a person you could talk to.
