Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 248: Julie Lythcott-Haims Talks About Her New book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult · 30 Mar 2021 podcast

I'm hoping that there's enough examples in there, enough difference on the page that every single human who picks it up will somewhere across those hundreds of pages really feel that I'm speaking directly to them in a very compassionate, understanding way.

brave way um i'm hoping it'll feel like a companion that they will want with them that they could turn back to we've worked so hard on the index because for example as you know dogs play a small but important role in this book you know there's a story where somebody's got brand new twins and when they have to put the babies down for a while on the bed the dog comes over and places his his

places his snout on the baby's legs to hold the baby in place it's so loving and somebody's going to connect with that story and want to rifle through and said where's the story about the dogs and so dogs are in the index you know how to help people come back to the book uh time and time again is is very intentional um and my hope for the book is that you know it it proves itself as a text of worth and value and that it finds its readers it finds its people i'm

I'm very hopeful.

I, you know, when you, you know, cause you're an author and, you know, these feel like our children in some ways, these books we write, and I'm calling this one because it is such a big book.

I call it my bouncing baby boy.

And I'm hoping my bouncing baby boy or girl or non-gender specific book, you know, goes and makes its way and is well-received and, and treated with kindness.

And, um,

Yeah, first, I want to thank you for making yourself available for that conversation.

everyone who's listening trusts you as a wise and compassionate and frank resource.

And so do I, my friend.

So was really grateful to be able to call on you and get your guidance and feedback.

Let me back up a step and say, for listeners who aren't familiar with me, I want you to know that I am a black biracial queer person.

So I have been in this world, accustomed to being left

off the page, accustomed to being in the margins or not thought of or what have you, accustomed to being otherized.

So while I am not neurodivergent myself, I have a lot of compassion and empathy for all who find themselves in a life experience, a category of people, a demographic that is marginalized or unseen.

So that is why, as an author, when I'm writing books that purport to be for all readers and

that I do the work to try to ensure that all readers, and I'm now using air quotes, will in fact feel that they were thought of as I wrote this.

Now, can I ensure that all readers will feel that way?

No, because I'm not in control of what anyone else thinks.
