Launching Neurodivergent Teens Into Adulthood
Launching Neurodivergent Teens Into Adulthood
Calm Conversations • Healthy Boundaries • Lasting Connection
Do you ever feel like every conversation with your teen turns tense, even when you’re trying to help?
☑️ Wish you could communicate without it feeling like a battle for control?
☑️ Struggle to stay calm when emotions run high or your teen shuts down?
☑️ Wonder how to let go without losing connection?
Take a deep breath. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong.
I’m Crystal Wagner, a Life and Parenting Coach, autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) mom of two neurodivergent daughters, and a former homeschooler who’s walked this path myself. After years of trying to manage, fix, and protect, I discovered what my teens needed most wasn’t more control. They needed calm communication, healthy boundaries, and a loving relationship.
Each episode offers gentle guidance to help you:
✨ Have calmer conversations that build trust and confidence.
✨ Regulate your emotions so you can help your teen co-regulate.
✨ Set healthy boundaries that support independence and mutual respect.
✨ Navigate the transition from parenting to partnering as your teen steps into adulthood.
You’ll find gentle, faith-grounded encouragement and neurodiversity-informed tools that help both you and your teen feel seen, heard, and safe.
If you’re ready to move from control to connection and help your neurodivergent teen with calm, compassion, and confidence, this podcast is for you.
Grab your favorite weighted blanket, take a deep breath, and let’s walk this launch season together.

What happens when a mom discovers coaching in the middle of raising her neurodivergent teens?
In this first episode of Launching Neurodivergent Teens Into Adulthood, I share our family’s story from 17 years of homeschooling to the late discovery of autism and ADHD, and how coaching completely transformed the way I parent. You’ll hear why I started this podcast, what you can expect from future episodes, and how learning to listen differently changed our family’s dynamic in the best possible way.
This show is for moms who want to understand their neurodivergent teens more deeply and parent with confidence, grace, and curiosity. You won’t find one-size-fits-all advice here—just real stories, reflection, and encouragement for the road ahead.
