Jan Stewart: A Parent's Journey Raising Children with OCD and Neurodiversity (#490)

In episode 490 chat with Jan Stewart. Jan is a mental health and neurodiversity advocate. She authored the book, 'Hold on Tight: A Parent's Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness'.

We discuss Jan's parenting OCD story, neurodiversity, getting help for herself and her kids, why the patient is the whole family, separating her son from his diagnosis, reducing parental accommodation, advice for loved ones and parents, the importance of not forgetting the siblings, parental self-care, and much more. Hope it helps.
