Episode #30 is here: Trissa, An Autistic Parent Raising Neurodivergent Children
Today, I’m speaking with Trissa, an autistic parent with ADHD based in Washington State. Trissa talks about ways to regulate yourself as a neurodivergent parent and give your neurodivergent children ways to self-regulate.
Trissa’s helpful tips and suggestions are particularly useful for autistic, ADHDer, and otherwise neurodivergent parents of children who are both dealing with sensory and cognitive overload.
Find out some of the best strategies for neurodivergent parents and kids who are dealing with the ongoing possibility of burnout and meltdown at the same time.
“She would melt down and then it would send me into a meltdown, and because I wasn’t thinking about how to regulate myself and what I needed to remain calm, we would cycle together frequently.” —Trissa
