Feeling family members who have Neurotypical child are saying their children are skilled in many areas, what can your Neurodiverse child do?

NAS75657

Both my family and my husband's family are always saying how the Neurotypical.children in the family can do anything,  they have so many skills and talents.  Apart from.my parents who say my Son is bright very bright and able,  it feels as if all the other members are saying he's Autistic so he can't learn much or do.much,  it will.take him.a long time to learn anything.  it's really making me feel.down

  • My autistic daughter, now adult, can play drums and guitar and is in a band that plays regular gigs. My ADHDer child plays drums and bass guitar, has designed sound for professional theatre productions, was on her college rowing team and paints and draws to a very high standard. Both my children gained first class degrees (chemistry and acoustic engineering, respectively).

    Being neurodivergent is not a bar to acquiring skills and accomplishments. There are lots of talentless neurotypicals out there.
