When the parent becomes the consusltant
About this episode
Shawn and Maurice discuss the unique experiences of parenting neurodivergent individuals and the transition to a consultant role.
About this episode. For most parents, as their children grow, the parent becomes more of a consultant, stepping back & granting more independence. For those of us who are parents to neurodivergent individuals, this picture can look a little different. In som cases, extremely different. Shawn & Maurice discuss their own individual experiences and Shawn shares a recent social incident involving his son that was unlike any encounter they have had before.
