Parents Support with
Neurodivergent Children & Teenagers
Do you find yourself crying quietly after every school meeting?
“He doesn’t make any effort.” or “He’s doing it on purpose.”
I've heard this phrase hundreds of times. For my Neurodivergent children
and for myself as a parent of ADHD, hypersensitive, Gifted and dyslexic children.
"I'm Nadège: your journey as a parent of a Neurodivergent child is mine"
Mom – neuroenergetic coach – dyslexic diagnosed at age 9 –
Mother of two neurodivergent children.
I’ve experienced that gnawing guilt, that feeling of being a “bad mother of neurodivergent children”, those sleepless nights wondering if I was doing enough to support my dyslexic children.
My testimony:
The day when everything changed for my child with Dys and ADHD
I had an appointment at school for my son. I was told:“Your son is not ready to move up to the next grade, he won’t make it” And the teacher added: “He doesn’t fit into the drawers.” instead of boxes, it sounded even colder to me.
That word “drawers” hit me like a punch. It made my son sound like something to store away, not someone to help.
When I explained that he was officially diagnosed with high level dyslexia and ADHD, that he needed extra time and support, and that every sound around him felt three times louder in his head… the teacher tells me:
"If you know better than us, ...."
When I got to my car, I collapsed in pain and cried all the way home.
When it was quiet, my son was able to answer questions. But in class, with the noise, all his “Dys” disorders, and his hyperactivity, it was much harder for him.
The hardest thing for me was not understanding the differences between neurodivergent children and others.
I have weathered this storm and continued to fight for my sons.
Eventually, he moved up to the next level, and benefited from the first accommodations that continued throughout his schooling, until he was finally lucky enough to get a Special Needs Assistant (SNA) 4 years later.
“This is what I was told at the time, and I know a lot of parents hear these kinds of phrases.”
Why my support is THE difference
When I support you, it’s also a mother who has weathered your storms and knows exactly how you feel when you’re judged, or when you’re exhausted from having to explain everything over and over again, as well as the immense pride you take in every little advance your neurodivergent child makes.
I don’t support you AS a coach only. I support you AS a mother who understands the difficulties.

What you're going through
(and what no one should have to go through alone)
Your invisible everyday life
- Public outbursts and/or accusatory stares
- School summonses that wear you out
- Family misunderstanding: "If it were my child, I'd..."
- Isolation: you avoid certain outings for fear of...
- The fatigue of having to justify yourself or explain that...
Your hidden emotions (that you don't dare say)
- "Sometimes I feel like giving up".
- "I feel at fault"
- "I'm afraid of doing too much or too little".
- "I feel alone in this battle, I feel like I'm up against a wall."
- "What if it's my fault?"

If these words resonate with you… you’ve come to the right place.
Invisible disability: the double penalty for atypical families
When you can’t see the difference…
Dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, hypersensitivity, high potential…
Their differences may be invisible, but the impact on your daily life is very real.
What they tell you (and what hurts you)
"You coddle your child too much
"Your child could make an effort"
"You're dramatizing the difficulties
"Your child just has to work"
"He manipulates parents"
"A good framework and your ADHD child would be better".
What you hear without saying
"You feel judged in your role as a mother".
"You invent your child's problems".
"You're too lax..."
"Your child is not normal
"It's your fault"
"You don't accompany your child enough".
Stop. These judgments define neither you as a parent nor your neurodivergent child.
What parents of neurodivergent children feel is legitimate
Being exhausted by caring for an ADHD or dyslexic child is not a weakness, it’s a reality. It’s an obstacle course.
You have the RIGHT to feel
😡
Anger
against misunderstanding of the system
😢
Sadness
your child’s difficulties
😰
Fear
Fear for your child’s future
😴
Exhaustion
in the face of this constant battle

To feel these emotions as the parent of an atypical child is not to be a bad parent. It’s simply a parent who deeply loves a child who is different from the norm.
