What if everything you believed about “helping” your neurodivergent loved one needs a second look? This episode invites parents, caregivers, and extended family members to explore how internalized ableism may be unconsciously shaping their responses to neurodiversity. With compassion and evidence-based insights, I’m inviting listeners to take a beat for curiosity, in hopes of opening a pathway to genuine understanding, inclusion, and connection with your loved one. Highlights: Why internalized ableism often goes unrecognized in loving families, and how to begin noticing it in everyday reactions and beliefs. The hidden harm of interpreting ADHD traits as laziness, defiance, or lack of effort, and how this misunderstanding derails connection and support. How unaddressed neurodivergence in parents and siblings complicates family dynamics, especially in diagnosis and emotional validation. What families can do to challenge ableism and shift toward affirming, supportive relationships, even if they’re just starting to learn about neurodiversity.
