To Share or Not to Share? Navigating Neurodivergent Self-Disclosure as a Parent
As neurodivergent parents, deciding whether to disclose your neurodivergence can be deeply personal and sometimes tricky. Should you share with your child, their teachers, other parents, or even work colleagues? While sharing can foster understanding and self-acceptance, it can also come with risks like judgment or misunderstanding.
Join us for a thoughtful discussion on how to navigate these choices. We’ll explore key considerations such as:
✔️ Understanding your purpose in sharing
✔️ Evaluating risks vs. benefits
✔️ Choosing what and how much to disclose
✔️ Preparing for different responses
We’ll also introduce the Self-Disclosure Map, a tool to help you reflect on your comfort levels in different situations. Whether you’re confident in sharing or still figuring it out, this webinar is a space to explore strategies, share experiences, and gain insights from others in the neurodivergent parenting community.
