My blog: Alone but advocating

Welcome to my blog, where I share my journey as a single parent raising a child with ADHD. I hope my experiences resonate with you and provide validation and encouragement. Here, you'll find stories, insights, and resources to help you navigate the unique challenges and triumphs of single parenting and neurodiversity.

Fear is normal, action is key

My biggest hope is that readers will understand that fear is a normal emotion in this journey. What truly matters is not being paralyzed by it, but taking action, whether big or small. Every step counts. I want to share my feelings and experiences as a single parent raising a child with ADHD, so others can resonate and feel validated through my stories.

Advocating for neurodiversity

I want to raise awareness of the discrimination that neurodivergent children often encounter. If you feel your child is being treated unfairly, trust your instincts. Have the courage to stand up for them and educate those around them. You are not alone in advocating for your child’s needs and rights.

It Is Scary to Speak Up

In this journey, one of the most important things that I have realized is that the current school system is simply insufficient to fully support neurodivergent children.  By no means am I bashing the school system and/or the teachers, but it is simply the reality.  If I have 1 recommendation to any parents with neurodivergent children out there, it is that simply following the school's recommendation and "trust" or have "faith" in them is just not going to do the job.  I realized the limitations of teachers in general quite early on, but even then, I also blindly followed the school's recommendation until I realized it simply is not adequate and frankly the school district has misinformed and misled us in so many ways.
