Parenting Children with ADHD/Autism
A night of learning and connection for parents and caregivers who are
navigating something different and often invisible.
INFORMATION SESSION ON THURSDAY 21 AUGUST
What to Expect:
A two-hour information session for parents and caregivers to learn, reflect, and connect. We'll start by offering grounded, digestible information about:
What neurodivergence actually is — specifically ADHD and autism
Why these brains get so misunderstood — by schools, professionals, even extended family
Why parenting a neurodivergent child is uniquely hard — and how you're not failing
From there, the space will open up for conversation, questions, and shared reflection. This is a place to talk about what it's really like — without judgment, and without having to explain why it's not as simple as "Just do this".
Hosted by
Alyssa Lightfoot (she/her)
Intern Counsellor | Former Teacher | Late-identified Autistic + ADHD
Alyssa is a neurodivergent adult who wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. She’s spent years working in schools and now works in a counselling role with kids, teens, and families. Her perspective is shaped by both lived and professional experience and by the belief that most parents of neurodivergent children are trying to navigate something they were never given accurate information about.
