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.

Stop, take a moment... and check in with yourself. The holidays are here

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.

We get into her story and the path she has been on and will continue to follow, supporting, being an advocate, and helping those who need help in the neurodivergent community.

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.

It is also incredibly cathartic to talk about it.

This one is a little more personal and we're talking about changes and healing.

Doing it the best way I can. Rambling on in an ADHD fasion.
