Today on Real Talk with Tina and Ann we are talking about neurodivergence and share a raw, practical look at “diagnosis day,” advocacy, and the tools that actually help our kids thrive. Nothing about our kids changed with labels; only our map did, and that map guides support with less shame and more clarity.
• early signs, and the long road to evaluation
• diagnosis day emotions of relief and grief
• processing speed, executive function, shutdowns, and transitions
• written expression disorder, dysgraphia, and speech-to-text wins
• homeschooling choices, hands-on learning, and fewer words
• school trust breaks, IEP rights, and practical advocacy
• services, therapies, and redefining success on a personal timeline
• balancing hope and fear while carrying the caregiver load
