Looking for supportive, practical guidance for your neurodivergent teen?

This January, I’m running a Neuro-affirmative Workshop for Adolescents designed to support teens with the essential life skills they need to thrive not just cope.

Over 10 weeks, we’ll gently and practically explore:
✨ Executive functioning.
✨ Emotional regulation.
✨ Anxiety management and nervous
system support.
✨ Sensory processing.
✨ Demand avoidance.
✨ Sleep support and routine building.

These workshops are strengths-based, neuro-affirmative, and focused on helping teens better understand themselves while developing strategies they can begin using immediately, during this important stage of growth and development 😊

There is also a low-pressure opportunity for social connection, where teens can engage with peers in ways that feel safe and comfortable, participation is always optional and choice-led.

If you’d like to explore whether this workshop is a good fit for your teen, book a free discovery call (via Zoom or phone).

📩 Send a DM or use the link in my bio to get started.

Let me re-introduce myself... 🌟

Hi I'm Amanda Fox, a mum, a professional, and a guide for Neurodivergent families and workplaces. I was late diagnosed with Autism in 2022 & ADHD in 2025, and as a mum of two Neurodivergent kids, I know first-hand the ups and downs of seeking assessments, securing supports, and managing the day-to-day challenges at home.

That's why I do what I do, supporting families and professionals. I help parents navigate the neurodivergent journey and guide professionals to understand, include, and empower neurodivergent individuals in the workplace.

Looking for a new way to relax? This online suggestion might shock you—literally.

A new wave of wellness gadgets promises that a tiny jolt of electricity to the vagus nerve can help reduce stress and improve sleep. There’s some science behind the social media sensation—similar methods have been used to treat epilepsy in the past—but researchers are still determining whether these new devices can truly deliver: https://on.natgeo.com/47SNeeE
