Summer can be a welcome break from the academic rigors of the school year, but for many parents of neurodivergent children, it’s also a time when routines unravel, attention spans shift, and boredom sets in quickly. While some children might revel in the freedom of long summer days, others—especially those with ADHD, autism, or other neurodevelopmental differences—may struggle with the lack of structure and stimulation.

Summer is a time for sunshine, camps, splashy playdates, and making memories. But for some kids—especially those with ADHD or executive functioning differences—social situations can be more stressful than fun. If your child is struggling to connect with others during camp or playdates, you might be wondering: Is this normal? Or is it time to seek more help?

For many families, summer break brings a welcome shift—less homework, no early morning school rush, and more time to relax and reconnect. But for children with neurodivergent needs, such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disorders, or executive functioning differences, the lack of structure that comes with summer can be confusing, overwhelming, and even dysregulating. Creating a neurodiverse-friendly summer routine can help provide predictability.
