As a doctor, I see the stress families go through every day, and I understand that receiving a diagnosis is only the first step in facing an environment that doesn't always know how to be inclusive. In communities like this, focusing on bullying is vital because the invisible burden we call the triple shift also includes constant mediation with schools to protect the well-being of our patients. What is a profound challenge is when this double dimension occurs, where the parents themselves are also neurodivergent and must support their children through bullying situations. From clinical observation and analysis, we see fundamental points for building resilience: - Amplified challenges: The emotional exhaustion caused by bullying can be mutual. When the sensitivity of both parents and children is wounded at the same time, the family needs spaces of safety and validation above any other strategy. - Synergistic strengths: There is an intuitive neurological understanding that acts as a shield. A parent who processes the world differently can validate their child's pain without minimizing it, modeling a self-acceptance that is the foundation for facing social stigma. - From vulnerability to shared strength: The goal is not just for the child to fit in to avoid conflict, but to build environments where self-care and neurodivergent identity are seen as a value and not a weakness. Thank you for this space to talk about what really matters: transforming isolation into belonging. ✨
