Written initially for her eight-year-old self, the book aims to help kids feel seen and understood while also supporting parents, guardians, and teachers, including chapters from Katie’s mother to show both child and parent perspectives. They discuss distinguishing “won’t” vs. “can’t” by defaulting to “can’t” and investigating, the hidden struggles of kids who appear “fine” at school, the trauma of forced reading aloud, and how diagnosis can be validating and unlock resources; Katey also shares a free “welcome package” with sample chapters and resources at her website.","meta_description":"Samantha and Lauren welcome back disability advocate and dyslexic speaker Katey Fortun to discuss her newly published book, \"Embracing Your Different Abil…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1942,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/autistic-and-adhd-kids-parenting-strategies-every-brain-is-different-6469310/episodes/embracing-your-different-ability-with-katey-fortun-ep-177/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/autistic-and-adhd-kids-parenting-strategies-every-brain-is-different-6469310/embracing-your-different-ability-with-katey-fortun-ep-177.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
