#1 Summary
As much as we love and embrace our neurodivergent children, raising them is challenging and often leaves us feeling as though we are going round in circles.

Sharing the woes experienced with diagnosis; impulsivity in the brain; medication; executive function; disassociation, demand avoidance.
