When Both Parents Are Neurodivergent

In this episode of The Load We Carry, Emily Mori explores the realities of dual-neurodivergent households and the emotional complexity that comes with parenting while managing two overwhelmed nervous systems. Drawing from her experience as a therapist and educator, Emily discusses executive functioning fatigue, sensory overload, emotional regulation, communication struggles, burnout, and the hidden mental load many neurodivergent parents carry every day. She shares how these relationships can hold deep empathy, connection, humor, and understanding while also feeling exhausting and emotionally intense. Through compassionate storytelling and practical insight, this episode reframes overwhelm as a nervous system response rather than a personal failure and encourages families to replace shame with understanding, communication, and shared support.https://canva.link/5qw1mvxhdishnte
