Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Casey:So Casey and I were hiking the other day and he volunteered to do something he hasn't done before. Answer questions on the podcast from parents coming from the perspective of the challenging neurodivergent child that we describe all the time that you probably have. Who has been like that since being a toddler and progressing through elementary school, those middle school and teen years through his 20s and into his early 30s. So if you could sit down and have coffee with Casey or a very strong espresso with his legs bouncing at the table, what would you ask Casey about his experience? You could ask him, hey, what do you wish your parents had done differently?
0:38Casey:What was most important and least important during your childhood? Tell us about different challenges you faced. What were the hardest ones? How did you overcome those challenges? What are advantages you've had because of your strong-willed nature in the adult world? He could probably help you understand your own strong-willed child better and how to communicate with them. Whatever you want to ask. And then I'll moderate a Q &A, and instead of hearing my annoying voice, Casey will talk. And I think you'll find it helpful. And if you do, maybe we'll do this once a month. Now, I do have a big favor to ask.
1:11It's something I've never really asked before, but Casey has bugged me for years, but I'm obstinate. He said, if you find the podcast helpful, please give it a five-star review.
