My reflections on a neurodiversity talk

Last night, I went to a talk last night in Edgware, North London about neurodiversity with Ashley Blaker and Gemma Blaker, and guess what song I heard on the radio on my way home 🤔

“Greatest love of all” by Whitney Houston – brilliant song 🎶

Key takeaways from the talk were (and this could apply to you all whatever your make-up/ level of diversity):

❤️Accept and love yourself and your child exactly as you are with all your imperfections and quirkiness. It is what makes you you. Embrace it!

❤️ Focus on the present, focus on the little joys and the positive as much as you can as this is helpful. Then focus on the next right step.

❤️ Do the best you can do to get through the really tough stages and challenges of life – it won’t always be like this. It will get better.

❤️ Celebrate each stage of your growth as a parent and of your child. Even though it may be a long road you have to travel, don’t look too far ahead in the future.

❤️ Focus on what you can achieve one day at time.

❤️ You are not alone. There is a lot of support out there in the form of support groups and resources.
