Navigating neurodivergence as a parent, with Diane Reid Lyon

Navigating neurodivergence as a parent, with Diane Reid Lyon

Many children who are on the autism spectrum or have ADHD also have anxiety or depression, and parents caring for those children experience high stress.

Diane Reid Lyon’s goal is to help parents not feel quite so alone while finding ways to help their kids. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor for more than three decades, she's helped hundreds of children, teens and adults find growth and healing while dealing with challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

So, she's written a book, “Caring for Yourself - Caring for Your Neurodivergent Child,” to help walk parents through the journey from how to get a child tested for neurodivergence to learning how to support them.

On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Ledger managing editor Cristina Bolling sits down with Reid to discuss her book and the importance of understanding your child’s diagnosis, navigating school systems designed for neurotypical students, and avoiding “parent burnout” and loneliness.

This podcast was produced by Lindsey Banks.
