A Gathering Place for Neurodifferences
There are many websites that provide an enormous amount of factual information about many neurodiverse conditions. They outline the basic symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and how your child (or an individual) will be affected, making these sites excellent starting resources for parents and all those who are looking for answers.
In many cases though, our children and their specific neurodifferences and condtions are complicated. With so much co-morbity and symptoms bleeding into each other, finding a diagnosis or an explanation for your child (or an individual) can be trying, especially when the criteria of one condition so easily fits another. Looking at information clinically distilled into fact sheets, often brings little comfort to already overwhelmed and fatigued parents and individuals who are just grasping to understand, and who are doing their best to cope. What is needed is a broader view, a more complete story and greater personal insights, reassuring these individuals and families that they are not alone in their journey, their struggles and their fights.
Braiins endeavors to be this safe place where there is connection and understanding from as many perspectives as we are able to manage. It is a place for sharing, a place to identify, a place to belong - for kids, teens, and adults alike.
