In this tender Waking Up Neurodivergent episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, speaks directly to parents raising neurodivergent children. Whether their child is autistic, has ADHD, sensory differences, learning challenges, or is healing from trauma.

This isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a soft place to land. A gentle reminder that you’re not failing—you’re learning to love your child in the language their nervous system understands.

Blaze offers a moment of rest and deep validation for parents navigating the emotional, invisible labor of raising a child who may not meet cultural norms but holds undeniable beauty and brilliance.

Inside this episode:

• A reframe of “behavior” as nervous system communication
• Why your presence, not perfection, is the greatest gift you offer
• A grounding Home Practice to support your own emotional regulation

You are already loving in ways that truly matter.

You are the right parent.
