A different kind of dad

DADvergence—a journey raising neurodivergent children in a world built against them

Welcome to DADvergence: Navigating Neurodiversity, Together.


If you’re here, chances are you’re like me: a dad on a unique and often challenging journey, raising neurodivergent kids. I created DADvergence because I know firsthand the joys, the frustrations, and the overwhelming feeling of navigating this path. It can feel isolating, but you’re not alone.

This space is built on empathy and understanding. Expect honest stories, practical tips, and a supportive community where we can share our experiences, learn from each other, and celebrate our kids’ unique strengths. I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned—the strategies that work (and the ones that definitely don’t!), the resources I’ve found helpful, and the emotional rollercoaster of it all.

DADvergence is about more than just information; it’s about connection. It’s about knowing you’re not the only dad struggling to understand meltdowns, advocate for your child’s needs, or simply find a moment of peace amidst the chaos. Join me as we navigate this journey together, one step at a time. We’re in this together.

Who Are We?

Numbers Speak For Themselves

percent of children diagnosed with ADHD since 2020
percent of children with autism spectrum disorder
percent of the world’s population that are neurodivergent

DADvergence is a supportive community where parents of neurodivergent children connect, share experiences and learn from each other. We’re in this together, offering understanding and guidance.

Disability as a Societal Construct

It’s easy to see disability as inherent, but consider this: society decides what’s “normal.” When environments aren’t accessible or expectations are rigid, neurodivergence becomes disabling. It’s not your child’s brain that’s the problem, but a world that isn’t built for their unique brilliance. We can advocate for a more inclusive world where their differences are celebrated, not seen as deficits.

There’s Nothing Wrong with our Kids

To all the amazing parents of neurodivergent children: you are not alone. Your child’s unique way of seeing the world is a gift. Their strengths, passions, and perspectives are invaluable. We wouldn’t change a single thing about them. Embrace their individuality, celebrate their differences, and know that they are perfect just as they are. Your love and support are the greatest gifts you can give.

We’re in this together. We are community.
