Ep 15: The Obvious, the Quirky, Even the Implausible: Here Are the Things We’re Grateful For from Our Neurodiverse Parenting Journey

You Don’t Want a Hug, Right? The Hilarity and the Hard of Raising Humans with Neurodiversity

We have so much to be grateful for, and what better time to acknowledge that than with Thanksgiving just on the horizon? Since expressing gratitude is essential to our health and happiness, especially as parents of neurodiverse children, we’re on a mission to be more intentional with how we recognize all the things we have to be thankful for each and every day — whether they’re obvious, a little quirky, or even a bit of a stretch!

In today’s episode, we’re covering everything from letting go of control, to practicing greater compassion, to embracing all life’s challenges. If it has been a while since you’ve taken a moment to reflect, or the chaos of daily life has felt a little too all-consuming lately, you’re in the right place. Join us as we slow down for just a few minutes to call out our favorite blessings.
