What To Do When Your Neurodivergent Teen Consistently Gets Stuck

Watching your neurodivergent teen or young adult get stuck can feel like living the same day over and over. The same struggles. The same patterns. And the same question quietly running in the background: How do I help without taking over?

In this video, I reflect on what it looks like to notice the patterns that show up when our kids get stuck and how paying attention to what happens before a shutdown or freeze can change how we support them. I share why awareness matters, how permission-based support helps preserve your child’s agency, and what it means to walk alongside them without slipping into control.

I also talk about the tension many of us feel as parents. Wanting to be available. Wanting to help. And at the same time, wondering when support becomes too much. This video is an invitation to pause, notice what’s really happening, and approach these moments with more discernment, grace, and curiosity.
