I I see a lot of families being given the advice that
We need to make sure our children will get along in the world and survive and this is a fear as parents that we want our children to be okay, we want them to be happy, we want them to be thriving, we want them to be functioning members of society.
But what we don't explore for some time is that this very well may look different for our families.
It doesn't mean that our children won't be happy or thriving.

We changed as a family from
compliance therapies into supportive therapies.
So then we had a beautiful occupational therapist come into our home who had a beautiful nature and energy.
who connected with our children because that's really important.

as their beautiful organic innate neurodivergent selves with no intention to change, just to support them.
