Frequently Asked Questions

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in how our brain work. It includes conditions like ADHD and ASD. In families, neurodiversity can impact communication, routines, and relationships.

Twice Exceptional (2E) refers to children who are both gifted and have a learning difference / disability / neurodivergence, such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or anxiety etc. These children have incredible strengths but may also face unique challenges in areas like executive function, emotional regulation, or social skills. Supporting a 2e child requires a deep understanding of both their exceptional abilities and their areas of difficulty to help them thrive.

I get you! I've been there too! My approach is all about helping you find practical strategies that work for your unique (& potentially neurodiverse / ADHD) family. I'll support you in building resilience, improving communication, and creating a home environment where everyone can have opportunities for success. I'm here to walk alongside you as you parent.

I offer a one-on-one discovery session, Checking the Vitals because sometimes, you just need someone to help you figure out what’s next.  This is where parents frequently start!

I also offer a lower touch offer, TUNE IN: Think. Understand. Navigate. Ease.
For when you’re not in crisis — but you’re definitely not flourishing.

And I offer a high touch offer, CPR: Calm. Prioritise. Reset for when everything feels like too much, and you need calm, fast.

While waiting for an assessment, focus on creating a structured environment, establishing consistent routines, and using visual aids to support your child's daily activities. Implement strategies to improve communication and manage potential sensory sensitivities. Remember, every child is unique, so observe what works best for your child and adjust accordingly. For more detailed guidance, consider joining our one of our three offers here!

We understand how overwhelming parenting can be, especially when raising a neurodiverse child and /or when you are neurodivergent also! That’s why there's a variety of offers to provide an option that fits into your life.

Parenting a neurodiverse child can sometimes feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am neurodiverse, and also have ND children, I have lived experience and I truly get it! You’ll find encouragement, shared knowledge, and a space where you can be seen and supported without judgment, always.

A great first step is validation—acknowledging your child’s struggles.  Let them know their feelings are valid! Then, focus on one small change to reduce stress, such as:

• Adjusting their routine to include downtime before or after school / childcare.

• Creating a simple, predictable morning routine.

• Using a “safe word” your child can say when they’re overwhelmed and need a break.

If you’ve found yourself saying “Oh gosh, now what?!” more times than you can count… you’re in the right place.

I support parents who are navigating the layered, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming world of raising neurodiverse kids—children with ADHD, autism, twice-exceptionality, and everything in between. Families like yours, who love fiercely but are also exhausted, wondering if it’s always going to feel this hard.

I bring over 20 years of experience in neurodiversity, education, and family support—but more importantly, I bring lived experience. I get what it’s like to be neurodiverse, having grown up in a ND family, having married to a neurodiverse man and have 4 neurodiverse kids and also, to feel burnt out, misunderstood, and like you’re constantly “figuring it out” without a roadmap.

At Our Neurodiverse Family, I believe in sustainable, honest change. No quick fixes. No judgment. Just real conversations, doable shifts, and heartfelt support for the families doing their best with what they’ve got.

When I’m not working with families, you’ll usually find me with a book in hand, sipping hot chocolate on the balcony watching the clouds roll in and the sun shining. And yes—there’s a mountain of dishes and washing, and I still think those ordinary moments are where connection is built.

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out on your own anymore.
