I loved this post. I am the parent of two neurodivergent human beings, 15 and 20, and it was surprisingly comforting to read your description of those stages I went through all by myself -- as well as those worries about independence, work, and driving. I'd never consciously thought about having a context of readiness rather than age but that is spot on. Thank you so much for this valuable wisdom -- I'm confident it will help other parents weather the steps ahead
I loved the framework presented in this newsletter- it feels really good to get a better understanding of the nuerodivergent experience and how to best support teens
My friend Amy Weber wrote this great piece about motivation: Motivation: What Is It, Why Doesn’t My Neurodivergent Kid Have It, and What Can We Do?

Is it okay to cross-post this?
