When I run FB ads, readers can comment. Recently someone left a remark to the effect that some neurodiverse parents (like all parents) do a great job (I agree!), so books like my memoir, BLISS ROAD, about being the neurotypical daughter of an undiagnosed autistic dad, might unfairly cast a shadow on such parents.
While researching the book, I do know how much discrimination neurodiverse people face, so I understand why my book would touch a sore spot. And to be clear, I do think all parents — including myself — can benefit from parenting classes.
The point of the memoir, however, is neurodiverse families face so many challenges: because the distance between brains types is sometimes so far apart. That’s why I’m a huge advocate for neurodiverse family coaching, which is why I put together the above program with Lisa Sinclair, a certified ADHD and dyslexia coach, and Jen Kuhn, a child psychologist and neurodiversity researcher.
All families deserve to be happy! Some just need a little more help than others.
