About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges and experiences of parenting neurodivergent children and the biases that come with it.
The Riff Raff team are folks who have all been kids at some point. Most of us still are in most ways. Growing up neurodivergent, whether we knew it or not, presented some challenges. As we became parents of neurotypical or neurodivergent kids, that added its own spiciness. Join us as we talk about letting your kids fail, watching the biases that come with being neurodivergent and how it all comes together whether we like it or not.
