Father’s Day Special: Honest Conversations with Two Neurodivergent Dads
Manage episode 488914687 series 3608004
Fatherhood in the neurodiverse world comes with challenges that aren’t often talked about—but in this episode, we’re changing that.
In honour of Father’s Day, I’m joined by two amazing dads who share what it’s really like being neurodivergent & raising kids, some who are neurodivergent themselves. First, you’ll hear from NeuroDad Diaries, who opens up about discovering his own neurodivergence and why he created a space for dads to talk openly about mental health, parenting, and daily life. Then, I talk with my husband, Chris, about the raw reality of fatherhood—what’s hard, what’s beautiful, and how we grow through it all.
Whether you’re a neurodivergent parent yourself, raising a child with autism or ADHD, or supporting a partner on this journey—this episode will speak to you.
In this episode, you’ll walk away with:
– Encouragement if you’re feeling unseen or overwhelmed as a parent
– Real stories from neurodivergent dads who get it
– Insight into how fatherhood intersects with identity, mental health, and neurodivergence
– Reminders that it’s okay to not have it all together—and you’re not alone
This conversation is full of honesty, vulnerability, and strength. If you’ve ever wished for more dad voices in the neurodiversity space, this one’s for you.
