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":"We Almost Didn’t Make It: Neurodivergent Marriage, Honest + Hopeful","slug":"we-almost-didn-t-make-it-neurodivergent-marriage-honest-hopeful","published_at":"2026-02-19T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/we-almost-didn-t-make-it-neurodivergent-marriage-honest-hopeful","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/TSF7837142532.mp3?updated=1771448881","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF7837142532.mp3?updated=1771448881","summary":"Marriage can feel hard for so many reasons… and when you’re in a neurodivergent household, it can feel like there are extra layers you can’t always name. In this solo episode, Greer shares a very honest snapshot of her marriage: she has ADHD, her husband is autistic, and they’re raising an autistic/ADHD child (with another little one whose “brain type” they’re still learning). She talks about the real stress points, the growth they’ve fought for, and the small “language tools” that have made communication feel safer and more doable. Greer also opens up about a turning point from about five years ago—when she was close to leaving—and what helped them start repairing: individual counselling, marriage counselling, and learning how their brains work. Why marriage can feel especially heavy in an ADHD/autism relationship How miscommunication often comes from what wasn’t said (or how something landed) The difference between being near each other… and actually feeling connected Practical phrases that reduce conflict (like “10 minutes to dream” and “10-minute tap out”) Why scheduling hard conversations can help neurodivergent nervous systems feel safer How “survival seasons” can look like couch time—and why that can be okay (for a while) A gentle reminder: you’re on the same team, and you’re not alone If you’re in a season where it feels like you’re roommates, not partners—there’s no shame in that. You’re carrying a lot. This episode is your reminder that help is allowed, connection can be rebuilt, and sometimes the first step is simply finding words that work for your brains. If this episode lands for you, share it with a friend who’s trying to love well in a neurodivergent home—and needs to feel a little less alone.GET THE LINKS⁠⁠⁠Check out the refreshed website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn…","meta_description":"Marriage can feel hard for so many reasons… and when you’re in a neurodivergent household, it can feel like there are extra layers you can’t always name.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1824,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/episodes/we-almost-didn-t-make-it-neurodivergent-marriage-honest-hopeful/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/we-almost-didn-t-make-it-neurodivergent-marriage-honest-hopeful.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
