What a great description! I am sending 4 of your videos to my daughter who cannot understand my responses as an AuDHD mom. Thank you!!!
I’m so glad you find it helpful. May I ask which 4?
I just found your channel and I’m so grateful for all the advise and for sharing your experiences! I was only diagnosed as an adult last year, and I’m still trying to learn how to manage and accept the neurodivergence I didn’t know I had; channels like yours make it an easier process, and far less isolating!
Also also, I can’t believe your 39 🤯 I swore you were in your 20’s! I hope my skin looks as good as yours when I get to my late 30’s! 💕
Acceptance of the neurodivergence is the heaviest first step... I know how you're feeling right now. I have a 5 step process I came up to make this easier.
1. Acceptance
2. Announcement (I got this wrong a few times so I'll be making a lot of content on this in the future)
3. Adjustment/Authority
4. Arrangement (e.g. rearranging our homes & spaces and schedules to fit us, not society)
5. Advocacy
I haven't fleshed this out completely yet but I hope to do it together with the community on this channel!
It's so nice to have you here. And continue sharing stuff in the comments because it helps me make more relevant content and helps others who can relate to your specific journey, you know what I mean?
@@NeurodivergentMom I know exactly what you mean! Our community needs these kinds of resources to turn to, there’s not a lot out there for neurodivergent parents; or even neurodivergent adults in general. And as a bonus, I can share videos like these with my neurotypical fiancé so he can understand more too.
You can show him this one czcams.com/video/slY4HdvUAwY/video.htmlsi=Yzq11KaQhezssqYz hehe. A legit meltdown triggered by my lovely husband. 🤣@@jzmn2828
I would love to hear more about your thoughts on the spirituality of autism.
@@yawni__emptysullivan840 thank you for the suggestion. I’ll make a video on that too.
