15. What Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids Worry About
Manage episode 356656711 series 3428129
If you’ve been following me for a while now, you know that I have been on both sides of the diagnostic feedback session. I’ve been the psychologist reviewing evaluation results with parents and I’ve been the parent on the receiving end of evaluation data that confirms what I already knew was unfolding before my eyes. As a parent, I remember feeling overwhelmed and scared. As a psychologist, I’ve seen many parents process the news that their child needs something different to succeed; it can be such an emotional experience for some while others jump right in and embrace the journey.
Today, I’ll be sharing common worries I hear from parents raising neurodivergent kids and teens. I want you all to know that you are not alone.
