Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neurodivergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. Neurodivergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neurodivergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neurotypical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neurodivergent disorders that are common among the population.

Più semplice, perché fa piazza pulita di ricettine, schemi, artifici vari e filosofie.

Dennoch ist eine Störung in der Sprachentwicklung eine der häufigsten Entwicklungsstörungen im Kindesalter. Etwa jedes achte Kind in Deutschland leidet an einer Sprachentwicklungsstörung.

As one of the few pediatric palliative care doctors in the United States, Bob Macauley was used to people saying, “I’m so glad I don’t have your job.” To which he would explain that palliative care is more about living than dying, then offer to share some of the inspiring stories he witnessed on a daily basis. He might mention that also being an Episcopal priest helped him console people in the hardest situations. But he never revealed the true reason for his career choice: he didn’t want anyone else to hurt the way he had when he was a kid.
