When you’re a parent of a neurodivergent child, there are times when life can feel impossible. But our truly EPIC guest, Mary-Jane du Toit, is living proof that NOTHING is impossible.
Mary-Jane is a mum of a neurodiverse family and founder of Spectrum Connections – a charitable trust that provides peer support for families who have a child or teen that has Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, ADD or any other form of neurodiversity.
In this open, honest and truly inspirational podcast which is jam-packed with insights and wisdom, Mary-Jane reveals:
🧭 What it feels like to be in it for ‘the long haul’ and how the neurodiversity diagnosis of her sons became a ‘gateway’ to her mission of helping the world become a better place for neurodiverse families.
🎓 How her son’s behaviours at school and kindergarten started to lay a trail of clues that something was different about his development, which led to an autism diagnosis.
😥 Nothing will ever be ‘normal’ again – The pain that parents can go through when their child receives a neurodiversity diagnosis.
🗺️ How ‘the neurodiversity journey’ doesn’t end with a diagnosis…in fact, it’s only the beginning. However, it also gives parents the opportunity to embrace their child’s uniqueness.
🔄 The cycle of family change and how it can help parents deal with anger, frustration, overwhelm and the other emotions that arise when parenting a neurodiverse child.
🆘 When you’re on the parenting journey, how to know when to ‘push through’…and when to ask for help.
Plus, you’ll discover MJ’s secret…
💡When it feels like the world is against you, how to remember, “this is a bad moment, not a bad life”
