Part 1I’m Exceptional! Identifying Neurodiversity in Kids, featuring Emily Kircher Morris, LPC
Every parent has moments when they wonder if their kid’s behavior is a normal phase or a sign of something more. Is a high-spirited middle schooler just full of energy or struggling with ADHD? Is a child’s efforts to excel a sign of healthy self-motivation or the result of excessive anxiety? It can be difficult to know the difference. For this episode, Emily Kircher-Morris shares insights into how parents and caregivers can discern what's developmental and what’s something that needs support. As a counselor and the host of The Neurodiversity Podcast, she’s an expert on parsing typical behavior from neurodiversity indicators. She’s also taking her counseling into the future by using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help build coping skills. She has great advice about how parents of kids with learning disabilities or autism can help their children thrive.
