Intro:

Whether your child is neurodivergent or their partner is—or both—it’s easy to feel helpless. You may see the impact before they can name it. You may struggle to know when to speak and when to stay quiet.

This page is here to offer you insight and language, so you can better support your child’s relationship without overstepping.

Top Tips:

• Your child may not see the dynamic clearly at first. Be patient.

• Ask curious questions instead of offering solutions.

• Don’t assume one partner is to blame. Focus on what each person needs.

• Validate their experience before giving advice.

• Model self-regulation. Calm presence speaks louder than words.
