An Extraordinary Normal: faith, family, and neurodivergence

I’m writing ✨free✨ articles for Christian families with neurodivergent members. I combine my experience as a parent with my training in education, ministry and biblical studies, to explore up-to-date research and delve into the Bible.

At every step, I include wisdom and advice from neurodivergent Christians and incorporate the experiences of other Christian neurodivergent families.

These articles celebrate difference while not shying away from difficulties.

Families with neurodivergent members might be outside of the ordinary, but there are many of us, we are a different sort of normal.
