Neurodiverse parenting (Melbourne)
Affirming support for autistic and ADHD children and families — focusing on regulation, environment, and reducing shame.
Key takeaways
- Support regulation first: when a child is dysregulated, learning and behaviour “control” is limited.
- Environment matters: sensory load (noise, light, crowding, transitions) can drive stress responses.
- Melbourne practicalities: planning around transport, queues, and overstimulating spaces can meaningfully reduce stress.
