Thanksgiving is often described as a time for gratitude, reflection, and connection. Families gather around the table to share meals, traditions, and expressions of thankfulness. But for parents raising neurodivergent children—whether they have ADHD, autism, dyslexia, anxiety, or other differences—the holiday season can sometimes feel complicated.

When we think about disability, many of us imagine something visible: a child using a wheelchair, a hearing aid, or a mobility support. But the reality is that many disabilities are invisible. They don’t show up at a glance, yet they impact children’s daily lives in profound ways. For parents raising children with invisible disabilities—or navigating them in their own lives—this invisibility can be both a blessing and a challenge.

The start of a new school year brings fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, and the promise of new beginnings. But for many families, the first months of school are also marked by tears at the breakfast table, forgotten homework, or phone calls from teachers.

Mental health is one of the most important aspects of our overall well-being — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

These myths don’t just spread misinformation — they can actually prevent people from seeking the help they need.

Summer can feel like both a breath of fresh air and a whirlwind—especially for neurodivergent families. The routines shift, sensory environments change, and expectations (hello, social gatherings and unstructured time) pile up fast. We’re now at that midpoint—July, the heart of summer. And it’s the perfect time to pause and gently ask: How are we really doing?
