A different kind of Christmas. https://wix.to/Zyd9587

If you are parent to a child with ASD/ADHD/PDA then Christmas can look different in your house - mine too!

My favourite tip - purchase xmas sensory decorations/toys to leave around the house, everywhere! Everyone love them and they regulate without allocating specific regulating time.

Check out this NEW blog post on strategies you can use to make the day a little easier.

Emotional Based School Avoidance

21/11/2025

My child with ASD/ADHD/PDA always seems to stand alone. Often wandering off into their own little world. I guess it's safer in their own bubble - away from everyday demands and overwhelm. Few friends and therefore invites to new places but also difficulties accessing those mainstream places anyway (a catch 22). Sometimes I watch, my child seems content but I feel a deep sadness. Every child deserves to be seen. Need support in nurturing that connection, supporting neurodiverse needs, and giving your child the confidence to be their authentic selves?

Sometimes it just goes wrong! I took my child with ASD/ADHD/PDA to the fireworks the other evening. Should we have gone? Nope! Did we go? Yes. Did we think it would be worth it and he would enjoy it once there? Also yes. Were we wrong? Also yes! Supporting neurodiverse families, like mine, starts with small, consistent steps: clear routines, realistic expectations, celebrating progress but also accepting that you can have all that in place and it can still go wrong. Acceptance and respite needed! . If you just need someone who genuinely understands those moment to moment frustrations and you want to 'share the load' - come and do so - emotional regulation for us adults starts with having someone who can understand.

Screen time is not bad for children with ASD/ADHD/PDA. It is regulation. Screen time should never be used as consequences for challenging behaviour. Children with ASD/ADHD/PDA can have difficulties in the real world with masking, limited social and communication skills, overwhelm, anxiety also sensory processing difficulties. Screen time can help regulate the nervous system by blocking all of that out and providing a safe environment that is just theirs. Sure, we want to encourage other activities such as getting outside but a happy medium can be achieved between the two. Screens are not the enemy we have been led to believe they are!

My biggest challenge that I wish I could fix for all parents of neuro diverse children (including myself) is to bring back the communities to support us. We are living in the most disconnected and isolated times. Throw in neuro diverse children and suddenly the world shrinks beyond imaginable and I don't know about you - but I am lonely!
