What can we learn from neurodivergent children and young people?
In this powerful and heart-opening talk, international bestselling author, family therapist and telepath Ditte Young invites you to a new perspective on neurodivergent children and youth. For what if the children we call “challenged” are in fact the ones showing us a markedly broader understanding of what it means to be human?
Ditte Young herself is the mother of a son with autism and speaks this evening both as a professional and as a mother. She unfolds a perspective that focuses not on shortcomings, but on resources, potential, and deep human insight.
Drawing on her work with families in both Denmark and internationally, Ditte Young shows how neurodivergent children:
-Reveal what in our society is no longer working
-Push parents into deep personal development processes
-Possess skills that will be crucial in the future job market
In the talk, she shares concrete experiences, insights, and examples from her work and from her own life as a mother – offering a rare look at how we can begin to understand these children in a whole new way.
