Exceptional Girls Podcast: Helping our smart but struggling girls feel seen, supported, and celebrated

In this episode of the Exceptional Girls Podcast, you can listen in as I continue my conversation with Maddie, my neurodivergent and twice exceptional daughter. In episode 3, we talked about the challenges we faced as we tried to understand why why things seemed harder for her than other kids.
Listen in on the second half of our no-holds-barred conversation, where Maddie and I talk about:

My regrettable reaction to the results of her neuropsychological evaluation
The light bulb moment for me — and how I found the missing link we needed
How the female experience of neurodiversity is different than the male experience

About the Exceptional Girls podcast
If you know and care deeply about a girl who learns, thinks, and experiences the world differently, I invite you to journey with me as we learn how we as parents, adults, and role models can help her understand, advocate for, and accept and love herself — just as she is.
