Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 429: Dr. Liz Angoff on Best Practices for Talking with Kids About Diagnoses · 18 Feb 2025 podcast

The answer you're looking for is something more like we're gonna really figure out what the steps are to helping your child thrive.

I'm gonna have specific recommendations for what teachers can do differently.

I'll have resources for you as a parent.

I'm gonna have a plan for what's next.

And that's what you're listening for because the diagnosis is, like I said before, it's a shortcut to understanding how your child's brain works.

But even within a diagnosis, there's a ton of diversity.

And so you're listening for a practitioner who really understands that nuance.

Another thing that you can ask is, what will you tell my child?

And if the practitioner is really thinking about the child's experience.

In that assessment, because that's going to tell you that they are listening for the child's lived experience, which is a key component to neurodiversity affirming assessment.

And that they really are not just looking for the deficits, but they're really trying to bring out the strengths in the child.

So that's another question I think is really important.

And then the third question might sound something like if one of the questions I have is, does my child's profile fit ADHD?

I might ask, what is your understanding of ADHD?

And if a practitioner carrots back the criteria from our DSM manual, then I know that they have that very traditional deficit-based understanding.

If they can give me a more holistic understanding of the strengths and challenges that come with an ADHD profile, then I know that they're coming from that more affirming profile and that.

they're really gonna help me understand my child's strengths as well as the things that are challenging for them.

Absolutely.

So you're right.

It is conversations.
