How to Talk about Parenting a Neurodivergent Child with Nefertiti Austin #shorts

ADHD isn’t a one-size-fits-all label. So often, when we think of ADHD symptoms in children, we picture the "bouncing off the walls" stereotype. But as memoirist and advocate Nefertiti Austin (@nefertitiaustin) explains in our latest clip, neurodiversity is much more nuanced than that. To support our children effectively, we have to understand the three distinct types of ADHD: - Inattentive Type: The quiet, calm child who may be struggling in silence. - Hyperactive Type: The high-energy child who fits the traditional stereotype. Combined Type: A mix of both—which can be especially confusing for parents and educators to navigate. Understanding these ADHD types is the first step in better school advocacy and creating parenting strategies that actually work for your child's unique brain. When we move past the labels and look at the child, we move from frustration to connection. 🎧 Listen to the full episode with Nefertiti Austin, "Parenting a Neurodivergent Child," at the link in my bio! #ADHD #Neurodivergent #Parenting #Parenting Podcast
