Helping kids understand their amazing brains!

Kids have big questions about ADHD.

-What is ADHD?

-Why do some people have it?

-What does neurodivergent mean?

-How can I better understand my brain?

🎧 Join me and host Jane Lindholm on a recent episode of But Why? A Podcast for Curious Kids as we answer questions submitted by kids from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective.

If you have a curious ADHDer at home, this is a great resource to listen to together!

One of the most powerful things we can do for children is help them put words to what’s happening inside.

Feeling understood can change the way kids experience themselves, their emotions, and the world around them.

Mental health support doesn’t always start with having the right answer. Sometimes it starts with listening.🌈

Mental Health Awareness Month is also about listening to the ways kids explain their own experiences.

Children often describe big feelings in ways that are honest, creative, and surprisingly insightful. When we slow down and listen, we create opportunities for kids to feel seen, understood, and supported.

For many neurodivergent kids, the emotional weight doesn’t come from being different. It comes from constantly feeling corrected, misunderstood, overwhelmed, or pressured to function in ways that don’t align with how their brains work.

Mental health awareness includes creating environments where kids feel safe, understood, and supported as themselves 🌈

During Autism Acceptance Month, we’re reminded:

A diagnosis isn’t just a definition—it’s a lived experience.

When we help kids understand their autism in a way that reflects their real experiences, we support confident, empowered self-advocacy.

There’s no shortage of apps and online tools out there.

But knowing which ones are actually worth recommending—and aligned with neurodiversity-affirming care—is a different story.

Instead of sorting through it all alone, we asked hundreds of trusted professionals what they’re actually using in their work with neurodivergent learners.

Then we gathered those tools into one place.

A curated, up-to-date toolbox designed to support meaningful, practical recommendations.

You can explore the full list at ExplainingBrains.com/nd-apps or reply "TOOLS" and we'll send you a direct link!

And if you’re looking for more support in writing affirming, research-based recommendations, our upcoming workshop dives deeper into how to make your recommendations more usable, relevant, and impactful.
