Parenting is such a joy and such a challenge. I am neurodivergent myself (ADHD) and have a son who is, at least as far as we know at this stage of life, neurotypical and the responsibility of parenthood threatens to drive me half crazy sometimes.

You folks, who do this with added difficulty and even less support from your society, are so incredibly strong. Even it it feels like you aren’t! Good luck out there.
