28) Parenting Neurodiversity in the Netherlands: Finding Peer Support and Community

With an estimated 1 in 5 people being neurodiverse, why does the journey of parenting an autistic or ADHD child often feel so lonely? In this episode of Dam Parenting, we are joined by Claudia Carter, an autism educator, family counselor, and founder of Ludica workshop. Ahead of Neurodiversity Week, we take a warm, honest, and direct look at the power of "Nurturing Networks"—spaces created specifically for international parents in the Netherlands to connect, share, and find strength in their peers.

We move past the overwhelming noise of online advice to focus on the essential need for community. Claudia shares how Ludica provides a safe harbor for families navigating special needs abroad, offering professional guidance alongside peer-to-peer support. If you’ve been searching for a space where you don’t have to explain your child’s behavior or your own burnout, this episode is for you. Discover the local resources available to you and reclaim your sense of belonging in the neurodiverse community.
