Description
Neurodivergent people are much more likely to be LGBTQIA+ and this may include your child.
I am so exited to introduce you to Star Peterson! They are fluent in the intersection of neurodivergence and LGBTQIA+ and will help you become your (or any) child's best advocate and supporter.
Even though you may be freaking out a little, making sure they know they are supported and loved is key to helping them thrive.
With Star's support you’ll learn:
The new language used when talking about gender and sexual orientation
How to talk with them if they come out or you suspect they are queer
How to be 100% supportive and the best ways to show up for kids
What to do with friends and family members who don't understand what's going on with a child.
