We talk about the relentless daily routine, the impact on our other children, the loss of spontaneity, relationship strain, identity loss, and the emotional toll of not knowing what the future holds. If you're a parent of a child with autism, ADHD, global delay, or any additional needs you are not alone. We see you. Topics covered: - Raising a non-verbal autistic child - Global developmental delay - Special needs sibling guilt - Parenting burnout and identity loss - ADHD in adults and parenting - How to cope when you can't see an end Sponsored by B and W https://www.blackandwhitebridging.co.uk/ πŸ”” Subscribe | πŸ’¬ Drop a comment below | πŸ“© #autismparenting #specialneedsparenting #nonverbalautism #GlobalDelay #ParentingBurnout #adhdparenting #autismmum #realtalk Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
