Who We Are
Hi. I'm Mari. And I was completely lost.
When our son Eli was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety at age 7, I did what most parents do: I turned to Google. I found a lot of clinical articles, a lot of fear-mongering, and very little that felt honest or human.
I wanted to hear from someone who was actually in it. Who had sat in that school meeting, terrified of saying the wrong thing. Who had stared at a bottle of methylphenidate wondering if they were making a mistake. Who had cried in the car after a particularly brutal morning and still managed to pack a lunch.
I couldn't find that resource. So I decided to become it.
Wired Differently started as a way to process our experience. It became a place for thousands of parents to feel less alone in theirs.
