Description
We have all been on the receiving end of comments like “ADHD is just a label”, “We are all a bit autistic”, and “Children just need boundaries”.
They are the last thing you need to hear when you’re handling a meltdown in Asda. At best, they’re annoying and at worst, they drain your last strands of self-esteem and leave you managing a meltdown of your own.
Mark Allen, lapsed comedian, host of the Neuroshambles podcast, and frazzled Dad of three neurodivergent children, shines a light onto some of the misguided things people say to parents of autistic and ADHD kids in this humorous and relatable talk.
He will unpick the misconceptions behind these ill-informed comments, suggest ways to respond without losing your cool and give you the confidence to know you are parenting in the best way for your kids!
