  • Summary

  • Brandy talks about what it’s like parenting a neurodivergent child into adulthood. We reflect on how far the conversation around neurodiversity has come over the past 10-15 years—and how there’s still more work to be done. Brandy generously shares the lessons she’s learned along the way, as well as a few things she might do differently if she could go back. Her son is now about to graduate from college, and they’re preparing for this next big life transition. We talk about the different transitions neurodivergent kids go through—from school to adulthood—and the things Brandy and her family did (and didn’t) do to support their son along the way. She offers so much wisdom and practical advice, especially on how to help your kids advocate for themselves as they grow older. This conversation left me feeling hopeful and reassured—like, we’ve got this, and it’s going to be okay. If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, whether they’re little or on the cusp of adulthood, this episode is full of insights that will make you feel less alone on this journey.
