Kate Morris also brings a wealth of knowledge from her studies and research in this field. Our guests' insights are enlightening, educational and very encouraging. We cover questions like:- What do the terms 'neurodiversity' and 'neurodivergence' mean? - What language is most helpful when referring to neurodivergent people?- Why might parents seek a diagnosis for their child? Is it detrimental to 'label' them in this way? - How does our Christian world view shape our attitude to neurodiversity?- What would our families and churches look like if we truly loved people in all their neurodiversity?- How might an understanding of neurodivergence shape parents' approach to discipline?- How can we foster positive relationships between neurodiverse siblings?Links:An Extraordinary Normal: Faith, Family, and Neurodivergence Substack articles by our guest Kate Morris.Stories of a Faithful God for Kids podcast by our guest Dave Whittingham.Faith in Kids 4 Kids podcast from UK organisation Faith in Kids.Growing Faith articles by our guest Kate Morris:'Supporting families with neurodivergent members''Neurodivergent Christians can find true belonging at church'Mothers Union Sydney.
