Our neurodivergent daughters are growing up in a world that doesn’t always understand them.

As a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent daughter, I’ve learned that one of the most powerful things I can give her is the confidence to embrace who she is.

But over time, I learned to replace those lies with self-compassion, which has been a game-changer for both me and my daughter.
