Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review.

This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you helpful

information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now let's get

started. Welcome Amanda Deekman to the Autism-AdHD podcast.

Thank you so much.

I'm thrilled to be here with you.

I'm so excited that you're here.

I am a fan of yours.

So I'm very excited to talk to you today.

So I'm going to introduce you real quick.

Amanda Deekman is a parent coach and an author in the

neurodiversity space and she's also autistic. Amanda became a leading voice in the movement for

low demand parenting practices with her book, Low Demand Parenting, to be published July

2023. And we'll talk about that later, but you want to run out and get this.

It's on pre-order right now, all the fabulous listeners and watchers.

Amanda runs a successful coaching practice for parents of nerd-a-version children,

including online courses in a vibrant membership community.

She lives with her husband, Brian, and three nerd-vergent children in an

intentional community in Durham, North Carolina. So yay for being so close together, too. Yes, absolutely.

We could high five down the highway. Today we're going to talk about low demand parenting.

And for those who have never heard of this before, let's talk about what that means.

Absolutely.
