Digital Companion 
for Neurodiverse Families

"It always has been invaluable to have other parents who are going through the same thing as you are, to call them up and say I can’t believe this is happening to me today. Because to the rest of the community, the things that happen to us, they’re really not the norm."

"During the hardest times, when my son wasn’t sleeping or eating or when he melted down over lights and sounds, I wish I knew it wouldn’t always be like this. I wish someone would have told me that the child I have now will grow and change and regress and thrive. You will feel frozen in time at different points. Know that it will get better. And harder. It will change."

"My daughter can appear to be 'fine' at a party, but later that night will likely be a nightmare. I think this is what can make Neurodiversity so very lonely. It is a war fought mostly behind closed doors."

“Looking back, it would have been helpful to have had a mentor or someone who had already walked the road that I faced. Initially, the diagnosis was overwhelming. I found myself searching for directions on how to not only cope with the future as his primary caregiver, but also how to fund his immediate and future medical expenses and care. My experiences have instilled in me a desire to mentor those with whom I come in contact who are facing the future I faced.”

" I wish I had known to ask questions and how to advocate for my son. Instead I believed it was something I was doing wrong which diverted my attention away from understanding his needs. It was so tough for both of us. I want to help ensure that no other parent has to walk that path alone. We are a community that needs to be connected"
