What do you do when the system only wants to hear about what your child can’t do — and never asks about who they are?
In this episode of Fi(ND)ing Motherhood, Kirsten explores the emotional toll of support systems that reduce neurodivergent and disabled children to deficits and checklists. From DCA forms to school meetings, SEN parents are constantly asked to showcase the “worst day” version of their child just to access help — and it hurts.
Kirsten reflects on what it means to be a parent caught between advocating for services and fiercely protecting your child’s dignity. With references to Dr. Mona Delahooke, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, and Brené Brown, this is an honest, validating episode for anyone who’s ever walked away from a meeting feeling unseen, unheard, and heartbroken.
Because your child’s story is so much more than a list of struggles — and so is yours.
