Today, I sat down with Scotty Weintraub, owner of Reframe Parenting—a way to help parents work with and help their neurodivergent children. Do mind there were a few technical hiccups, but you might not notice them, we were laughing a lot at things just going on the fritz, however, we still had an amazing conversation.

PiPa is not just the Administrative Assistant for The Self Determination Group a part of the Arc of Texas.

She is also a neurodivergent and the parent of a neurodivergent child.

I go over what RSD is, why it is and how to navigate it.

Masking is a coping mechanism that most people don't really understand. Some even do it involuntarily. I talk about what I did and why I did it.
