Live Parent Workshop | 90 minutes + Confidential Q&A

Exam season can be especially complex for ADHD and autistic teens.
What looks like avoidance, shutdown, or “lack of motivation” is often overwhelm, nervous system stress, and executive functioning overload.

Many parents are told to increase pressure or push harder.
For neurodivergent teens, this can unintentionally lead to more anxiety, conflict, and disengagement — particularly in the months leading up to major exams.

This live parent workshop is designed to offer practical, compassionate guidance grounded in real-world neurodivergent experience.

Who This Workshop Is For

Parents of ADHD or autistic teens preparing for:

• Junior Cycle/ GCSEs

• Leaving Cert/ A-Levels

• IB or other major exams

• International exam systems

Especially helpful if you are noticing:

• Increased avoidance or procrastination

• Emotional shutdown or overwhelm

• Rising tension around schoolwork

• A capable teen who is struggling to engage

• Fear of damaging the parent-teen relationship during exam pressure

What We Will Cover

• What actually happens to ADHD/autistic nervous systems during exam pressure

• The difference between avoidance, burnout, and overwhelm

• How to respond when your teen freezes, shuts down, or resists

• Supporting focus, energy, and regulation in the final months before exams

• Protecting your relationship while still supporting academic goals

This is a practical workshop, not a lecture, with real-life strategies you can apply immediately.
