Neurodivergence in Girls and Boys: What Parents Might Miss
Could an autistic or ADHD child be overlooked because they seem to be doing fine? In this episode of Parent Hacks for the Neurospicy , we talk about how neurodivergence may show up differently in girls and boys, and why the less visible struggles deserve attention too. We share three parent hacks: look at the full diagnostic criteria instead of relying on a stereotype, observe your child’s play, and listen to how they describe their friendships while watching the dynamics for yourself. A child may have friends and still work hard to keep up with social expectations. They may seem calm at school and come home overwhelmed. These are clues to get curious about, not a checklist for labeling your child. Tune in for a closer look at what your child might be showing you.
