Parenting is hard, neurodiverse and rainbow parenting can feel even harder with a sense of lacking community. We meet in a low key setting to create space for informal, peer to peer support- other parents who understand the struggles and are traveling a similar road. Our community group founders (Jess and Kelsey) are both solo mama with seven children between them, with a varied neurospicy colourful rainbow of representation between us. Our kids range from 15 to 5 years old, we have gained a few skills and resources (usually the hard way) between us.
For many of us navigating this journey it's complex, confusing and honestly, exhausting at a soul level! There are things out there, resources, tools, allowances that can be advocated for, but even for those of us many years deep diving into this, it's honestly overwhelming, it can be quite hard to find things and the usefulness of the available supports in a practical sense are at best, variable.
We have not only a kete of resources we rate highly for a variety of things and know of ways to access many more, but we also have the space and have now created this quarterly community chat check in space for those who would like to come join us in a really low key, low expectation setting, please do.
We just generally will come together and chat about what everyone might most need or find most helpful or what they are struggling with most and then maybe talk about hacks others of us have tried with that issue or things that might be worth considering. Or maybe it will just be a chance to vent about how hard this stuff can be.
This is a very low key expectation catch up, we have coffee, tea, and refreshments sorted.
