Parenting on Hard Mode: ADHD, Autism, and the Untold Truth of Family Life

Parenting on Hard Mode: ADHD, Autism, and the Untold Truth of Family Life

Parenting is hard. Parenting with ADHD, autism, and three kids? That’s hard mode. In this raw, unfiltered episode, Kristin (ADHD) and her husband Tyler (autism) share the messy, hilarious, beautiful, and deeply human truth of raising kids in a neurodivergent household. From autistic meltdowns to ADHD crashes, from marriage clashes to parenting a recently diagnosed autistic child, they reveal the stories they’ve never told before.


You’ll learn:

  • The science behind autistic meltdowns and ADHD crashes (and why they’re so misunderstood)
  • How to build a family that works for your wiring, not the world’s rules
  • How celebrating their child’s neurodiversity unlocked compassion and celebration for their own neurodivergent wiring
  • Why neurodivergent families don’t need to ‘fix’ themselves - they need to design differently
  • How neurodivergent families aren’t broken, they’re rewriting the rules of parenting


Equal parts funny and vulnerable, this episode will leave you feeling seen, hopeful, and empowered to parent differently, because your wiring isn’t a flaw, it’s your family’s superpower.
