Hey folks,
Just catching up on all your comments.
I’ve had a few people ask why I shared the fact our son has the same neurodiversity as I do, and so many others. Some people think having ADHD & Dyslexia is something you should maybe hide away. I totally disagree.
I wanted to show that it’s anything but a drawback. It's a superpower—something he, I, and many others are proud to have.
Steven Spielberg, Richard Branson, Tom Cruise, and even Albert Einstein have dyslexia. As I said in the video, the world would be a boring place without neurodiversity.
People, I believe, should wear it with honour because it's a privilege to see the world from a different angle.
For us, it was great news, so sharing that news while framing it in a way that showed other people it was a great thing felt like the right approach.
But here’s the thing—it’s all subjective. As long as I feel comfortable sharing small yet important parts of our lives with an incredible community that loves and supports what we do, then I’m happy.
I believed I approached this with dignity and candour, and I’m really not sorry if it wasn’t interpreted that way because if anyone can't see that then this channel is probably not for you.
It’s a fine balance, and it underscores the need to keep assessing our motivations and actions. But like I said I’ll always strive to share our lives respectfully and mindfully, ensuring our kids' autonomy and well-being are always front and centre.
We believe in using our little platform to make a positive impact, not to leverage personal stories for rage bate & controversy.
It’s discussions like these that help ensure we remain thoughtful and ethical in what we share.
