• how the experience of raising their adopted son and learning how the brain works helped Lindsay become a better parent and teacher

I can relate so much to Lindsay’s story because I raised an out-of-the box child too. I hope this lets you know that you’re not alone in this journey and that there’s no shame in raising uniquely-designed kids. I hope Lindsay’s story will encourage you to get help so that you can give your child the tools he needs in order to thrive.
