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.

Introducing: After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

Introducing: After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community Big Little Feelings, and fellow real ass moms - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day and find your “enough”-ness. Each week, we’ll unpack the broad spectrum of things we’re ALL experiencing as parents, but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to your kids, infertility, potty training, our bodies, and everything in between. Raw, real, refreshing, and really helpful, After Bedtime is the “mommy/parent group” you actually look forward to each week. Big Little Feelings premieres Wednesday, Sept 13th, 2023! Please listen to and follow After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings, an Audacy production, on the Audacy app or wherever you get your podcasts.
