Quirky Kids: Unschooling and Neurodivergence | 206

About this episode

What can unschooling families learn from the neurodivergent community?

In this episode, Sue Patterson looks at how our understanding of “quirky” kids has changed over the years—and why many unschooling parents are learning from approaches developed within the neurodivergent community.

Even families without a diagnosis can benefit from these ideas when kids struggle with expectations, pressure, or social dynamics.

In this episode:

  • Reassurance for parents of neurodivergent children
  • How the conversation around neurodivergence has evolved
  • Why many families turn to unschooling when school isn’t working 
  • What parents can learn from neurodivergent-informed parenting approaches
  • Resources for neurodivergent families

Sue also shares details about the Unschooling Summit, where many speakers will be discussing neurodivergence in unschooling families.
