About this Event
There are countless resources available on how to raise your kids.
Books, essays, TV shows, and podcasts that offer advice on topics from feeding to encouraging healthy sleep habits, helping children navigate difficult emotions etc.
In recent years, there has even been an increase in content specifically aimed at fathers, with more resources and information becoming readily available.
But the one thing I struggle to find is parenting advice for neurodivergent people by neurodivergent people.
As someone with AuDHD (Autism and ADHD), this would have been a lifesaver as a parent of two kids under 5.
“The Neurodivergent Dad Survival Guide” is my attempt to fill that gap in the market.
PLEASE BE AWARE; this is not a how-to guide for raising kids as a neurodivergent person.
I am not a professional.
Not even close.
I am just a dad whose brain is wired a bit differently.
Instead, I want to share some lived experiences and what I’ve taken from them as a parent with AuDHD.
I also hope to challenge and demystify some perceptions of what it is to be neurodivergent and what we are capable of.
If that ends up helping someone like me, or any parent, to feel they are a little less alone – then that’s a worthwhile bonus.
