Neurodivergent Parenting & Thriving in the Chaos – Interview with Sam Marion, LCSW
Parenting a neurodivergent kid is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded while chugging espresso—equal parts exhilarating and terrifying. But fear not! In this episode of Chaos & Caffeine, I sit down with Sam Marion, LCSW, a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, author, and all-around badass advocate for neurodivergent families.
We’re diving into:
✅ What “neurodiversity-affirming” actually means (and why it matters!)
✅ The biggest mistakes parents make when raising neurodivergent kids (yep, we’re calling it out)
✅ How to support ADHD, autistic, and PDA kiddos without losing your damn mind
✅ Why traditional therapy doesn’t always work for neurodivergent kids—and what to do instead
✅ How to regulate your own nervous system so your kid doesn’t set the whole house on fire (metaphorically… or not)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing as a parent (you’re not, btw), this episode will give you the tools, mindset shifts, and real-talk support you need to actually help your neurodivergent child thrive.
🎧 Grab your coffee (or something stronger) and hit play—this one’s a game-changer!
