HEY THERE!
I'm Lindsay
I'm a therapist of over 10 years, a late-diagnosed ADHD woman, and a lover of fancy coffee and good books.
When I gave birth to my first child in 2014, I was quickly baffled. Who let me parent this kid? Why did all of the things the parenting books suggested seem to make his behavior worse? I was definitely messing this all up...
It wasn't until our son received an autism diagnosis at age 7 and we stumbled across PDA that everything clicked into place. We were going about this all wrong. Rather than having behavior issues to be solved through rewards and consequences, he needed nervous system support and co-regulation.
I've been where you are! I saved myself... and you can, too.
