Hey, fellow parent, I'm so glad you're here!
Similar to you, I have a neurodivergent child. So I know what it is like to be handed a label you know nothing about, navigate the diagnostic process, advocate for your child in a broken system, have people who don't believe you when you tell them your child can read...and so on and so on...
Maybe you feel a little lost or a bit overwhelmed with everything and aren't sure what to do next. Especially since there's so little information about hyperlexia out there.
And maybe you're fed up with all the ick, negativity, and misinformation surrounding autism...I know I am!
The goal here is to:
Help you understand your child's neurodivergence, better connect with them in more meaningful ways, and support them to be their best authentic selves.
