Relationships: Meet the Grandparents

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with two very special guests—my parents, Greg & Chalky. Together, we explore the unique perspective of grandparents in a neurodivergent family. Greg & Chalky (or Dad & Mom) share the wisdom they’ve gained as they’ve walked alongside us in our journey, offering reflections on what they’ve observed, how their understanding has grown, and what it means to support both their grandchild and us as parents. We dive into how the role of grandparents shifts when neurodivergence is part of the family story, what it looks like to navigate a learning curve with love and patience, and how to balance supporting adult children while respecting their parenting choices. Greg & Chalky also share the joys, lessons, and growth they’ve experienced as grandparents and what this journey has taught them about family, connection, and understanding. This episode is an honest and warm conversation filled with insights that remind us we’re never alone. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or simply someone seeking to better understand the neurodiverse world, I hope you’ll feel seen, supported, and inspired.
