My thing about neurodivergence is that society doesn’t support those of us parents who are raising children who have it and I’ll be straight up, it’s really, really hard. Fully exhausting. The school system isn’t set up for them. Many teachers aren’t experienced- sometimes autistic kids can seem like they’re « challenging » teacher authority with their questions type thing, or managing anxiety, etc. Just…I’m tired.
I’m so sorry. That would be extremely challenging, our school system needs a total overhaul and be redesigned in a way that reflects everything we’ve learned about learning, development, and socialization especially for kiddos. And stop treating us (especially kids) as if they are all the same.

Beautifully put. I feel better about myself now.
This hits especially close to home, thank you so much. Saving off for future reference.
