Katie chats to a stepmum of three boys, one who is neurodiverse.  

She shares how this has bought additional challenges and that although she loves her stepson immensely it has made it hard to form a connection at some points. 

She also shares her experience of being thrown into parenting going from zero to three kids almost instantly! 

Note: there will be a section added to the forum next week on step-parenting neuro diverse children.
