The Unspoken Mask - Parenting Children with Neurodivergent Profiles

Parenting a child who has a neurodivergent profile, such as ADHD or autism, is an experience that brings both challenges and rewards. While there are moments of joy and fulfilment, parents often carry a hidden burden. The fatigue, sense of isolation, and emotional labour associated with supporting their child’s unique needs are frequently overlooked, as these parents feel compelled to maintain an appearance of strength for the sake of their family.
