“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”Psalm 139:14

Different, Not Less: Parent Edition

Faith formation for autistic and ADHD kids, and for the parent who feels unseen at church.

Most of what the church hands parents assumes a kid who can sit still, memorize a verse, and survive a loud sanctuary. Yours might not, and that is not a faith problem. It’s a format problem. This tool is the discipleship side of what we started with the kids’ Fruit of the Spirit game: what faith formation looks like when the usual methods don’t fit, a meltdown-vs-tantrum discerner, a script for the church conversation you’ve been dreading, and Scripture for the parent who is exhausted and still chosen.

Built on Psalm 139:14, Isaiah 40:11, Matthew 11:28, 1 Corinthians 12:22, Mark 10:14 and Deuteronomy 6:7. Written with love for a broad range of neurodivergent families; your child’s clinicians and therapists know your child best, and this is not medical advice.
