(Caribbean Teen Suite) Wired Different: Parent & Caregiver Companion Guide

This companion guide is designed for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent Caribbean teens (ages 11–17) who have attended or are about to attend the Wired Different workshop. It’s not a lecture. It’s a bridge between what your teen learned and how you can support them at home.

Inside you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of ADHD, autism, dyslexia, executive dysfunction, and masking
• The six key lessons your teen took away from the workshop: strengths, strategies, and identity
• Caribbean-specific cultural insights on family, faith, and resilience messages
• Practical support tips for home, school, and communication
• “What not to say and what to say instead” language swaps to build trust and connection
• Resources for parents to continue learning and advocating

This guide helps you move from confusion to clarity, giving you the tools to believe your teen, celebrate their strengths, and create a brain-friendly environment at home.

Note: For parent and caregiver use only. Not for direct distribution to teens.
