When one child in a family is neurodivergent and another is neurotypical, there are particular challenges in supporting both children as themselves, and in supporting the relationship between them.

Some of the people we see in our diagnostic clinics appear to be navigating life entirely successfully, while running an exhausting internal script nobody else can see.

Autistic burnout is a real and increasingly recognised experience, and it can have a significant impact on wellbeing, daily functioning and quality of life. In this video, Phoebe Beevers, Senior Neurodevelopmental Practitioner, explains what it is, how it shows up, and what genuinely helps with recovery.

Distracted, emotional, impulsive, disorganised. All of these can be a completely normal part of adolescence, which is exactly what makes the question so hard to answer.
