Neurodivergent Children on the Inside | UnMuted Love Ep.97
Neurodivergent children can be perplexing to a parent. In this episode of UnMuted Love, Ce Eshelman has a lively sit down with Mark Talaga, a neurodivergent therapist, for an enlightening conversation about parenting neurodivergent children through both lived experience and professional wisdom.
Ce and Mark explore what it means to understand neurodivergent children from the inside out—not only through diagnoses, school reports, behavior plans, or parenting strategies, but through the real human experience of being a child whose nervous system, identity, sensitivities, and gifts may not fit neatly into the world around them.
This conversation speaks directly to parents raising children who are gifted and asynchronous. They can be bright, articulate, creative, and insightful, while also overwhelmed by executive function demands, social pressure, sensory input, emotional intensity, or the crushing weight of expectations. You will want to bring your full attention to this episode, especially if you have been challenged by your child’s ability to do incredible things while simultaneously being unable some days to put their shoes on.

From Ce Eshelman:
Are you searching for a community of parents who will get you; who offer an attentive ear and open arms in the worst of times; who give you a standing ovation for the monumentally big "small steps" forward you make with your child? It is so painful to walk the jagged trail of this parenting journey alone and no one is ever alone in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. You will feel seen, understood, and actually deeply cared for. We know it as "love." The Society is a virtual program for parents of children who experienced trauma and others who support them or work with them professionally. You don't have to wait a minute longer. We are right here waiting for YOU!
