**Join us for an educational meetup discussing the complexities of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders and other spiciness in neuro-diverse families. I am neuro-spicy with a very spicy young adult.**

Parents, grandparents, spouses, siblings, family, friends, other caregivers and neuro-spicy folks - all are welcome!

We will explore special education, living spicy, and neurodivergence, providing a safe space for sharing experiences and gaining valuable insights.

Our goal is to foster understanding, empathy, and practical strategies for caregivers in the neuro-diverse community. Come join the conversation and let's learn together!

ground rules for a safe, helpful and kind discussion:

2. **Active Listening**: Listen attentively without interrupting, and try to understand the speaker's point of view before responding.
3. **Speak from Experience**: Share your own experiences and perspectives rather than assuming or generalizing about others.
4. **No Judgement**: Avoid making assumptions or judgments about others based on their experiences, opinions, or identities.
5. **Confidentiality**: Respect the confidentiality of others and avoid sharing personal information without permission.
6. **Use "I" Statements**: Speak from your own perspective using "I" statements to express your thoughts and feelings.
7. **Constructive Feedback**: Offer feedback in a constructive and supportive manner, focusing on behaviors or actions rather than personal characteristics.
8. **Be Open-Minded**: Be open to new ideas and perspectives and be willing to consider alternative viewpoints.
9. **Take Turns**: Allow everyone an opportunity to speak without dominating the conversation, and respect turn-taking.
10. **Mindful Language**: Use inclusive, respectful, and considerate language of others' feelings and experiences.
11. **Acknowledge Impact**: Acknowledge the impact of your words and actions on others, and be willing to apologize and make amends if you unintentionally cause harm.
12. **Step Up, Step Back**: Recognize when it's appropriate to contribute to the discussion and when it's important to step back and listen to others.
13. **Stay Solution-Focused**: Focus on finding solutions and moving forward rather than dwelling on problems or assigning blame.
14. **Self-Care**: Take breaks as needed and prioritize your own well-being during the discussion.

*To maintain a safe and respectful environment, let's kindly remind everyone of the ground rules we've established for our discussion. Our goal is to ensure everyone feels heard, respected, and supported. If anyone unintentionally veers off track or forgets to adhere to the ground rules, let's gently redirect the conversation back to a constructive and positive direction. Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation!*
