Ep 11 - Explaining neurodivergence to family and friends - with Holly Karten

While receiving a diagnosis is incredible for helping to explain why your child may have felt a bit like a fish out of water in a neurotypically organised world, it can be just the beginning of your journey.

It can seem incredibly daunting if you make the decision to tell family and friends about your child’s diagnosis. Where do you start? What do you say? And how do you ensure they see your child as the individual that they are, not just the diagnosis?

We chat to Holly Karten, a disability activist and artist with lived experience, about navigating complex and emotional conversations with positivity and advocacy for your child.
