How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk about EHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world,…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T22:18:52.818817+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757"},"episode":{"title":"Moving Abroad With an Autistic Child: How to Prep for Big Transitions, Find Community, and Thrive in Portugal with Alexis Nicole","slug":"moving-abroad-with-an-autistic-child-how-to-prep-for-big-transitions-find-community-and-thrive-in-portugal-with-alexis-nicole","published_at":"2026-02-12T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/moving-abroad-with-an-autistic-child-how-to-prep-for-big-transitions-find-community-and-thrive-in-portugal-with-alexis-nicole","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757","url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF2772212136.mp3?updated=1770844237","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF2772212136.mp3?updated=1770844237","summary":"If you are in a neurodivergent relationship we are doing a webinar talking about the everyday realities. The joys and challenges while being or being married to a neurodivergent person. Join us Feb. 12, at 8pm UK, replay is available! What if the thing that feels impossible, moving countries with a sparkly-brained kid, could actually become the start of your child feeling more supported, more understood, and more free? In this episode, we talk about the kind of preparation that helps autistic kids feel safe in big change, how to keep the vibe hopeful even when the logistics are a lot, and what it looks like to build community when you are new, anxious, and navigating a language barrier. Today on Neurodivergent Conversations, I’m joined by Alexis Nicole from Mommashive, a travel and lifestyle creator living in Portugal after relocating from the United States with her family. We get into the real, practical stuff you actually want when you are considering a move or a big trip with an autistic child, like: why some autistic kids do better with more notice (not less), and how Alexis used previews, videos, and even paperwork to reduce anxiety how to involve your child in downsizing and planning so it feels like something happening with them, not to them what school can look like in Porto, including language support and why integration mattered to their family the surprising ways travel (RV life and cruising) supported social confidence and new routines how community can start online when you are nervous in real life, including the role of Facebook groups and creator communities a few tiny “try it and see” regulation idear sweet in your bag, shared as an anecdotal tool that helped Alexis in the moment This one is especially for the parent who is thinking, “I want to give my…","meta_description":"If you are in a neurodivergent relationship we are doing a webinar talking about the everyday realities.
