WELCOME TO THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST! In this episode, I'm chatting with Sari Beth Goodman, a certified parent educator and coach.

They discuss five effective ways for grandparents to support their neurodivergent grandchildren: establishing mutual understanding and respect, providing respite care, researching resources and services, assisting with transportation, and sharing family history and traditions. They emphasize the importance of grandparents being open to learning and tailoring their support to meet the specific needs of neurodivergent children. The discussion also touches on the impact of favoritism and the necessity of clear communication and cooperation between parents and grandparents. NOT ONLY IS THIS EPISODE HELPFUL FOR GRANDPARENTS BUT ALSO EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS:)

In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I’m opening up about my experience at the Journey's with PDA Retreat—and about my key takeaways:

• True Freedom: The retreat allowed me to be myself completely—no pressure to conform, no judgment—just acceptance and understanding.
• The Power of Acceptance: I could take breaks, fidget, or choose not to talk, and it was all okay. No one expected me to be anything other than myself.
• A Bittersweet Realization: While the retreat was freeing, it also highlighted how much we mask daily and how few spaces like this exist for neurodivergent people.
• The Emotional Weight of Masking: The retreat helped me see just how draining it can be to constantly mask, and why we all need more spaces where we can feel safe being ourselves.
