Single-parenting Neurodiverse Children with guest Megan Champion
In this episode, we discuss how the challenges of single-parenting can be compounded when you are parenting a neurodiverse child (or children). This episode is special in my heart because I am the mother of two neurodiverse children. Neurodiversity is defined as being able to view differences, such as autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities, as variations in the human brain rather than weaknesses or problems that need to be “fixed” or “cured.” They’re simply variations of the human brain. Neurodiverse children experience, interact with and interpret the world in unique ways. That can sometimes create challenges. But it can also lead to creative problem-solving and new ideas — things that benefit everyone.
Megan Champion is a 15-year classroom teacher and the mother of 8-year old boy/girl twins, plus a 5-year old wild child. After many difficult years raising her neurodiverse, out-of-the-box son, she started sharing her experiences on her podcast, On The Hard Days, and now features other moms around the world raising out-of-the-box kids to share their stories, too. Megan also launched a support group community specifically for moms of neurodiverse children, Mothers Together. Off of social media, this community is a judgment-free, safe space to share struggles, wins, and to ask for advice in small groups. Megan's mission is simple: To give a voice and a platform to mothers who often stay hidden, out of shame, guilt, self-doubt, and fear of being judged.
