How My Comfy Business Meets My Neurodiverse Family's Needs
Fri Dec 19 2025
When parenting neurodivergent kids is a full-time job, create a business that bends instead of breaking you with Laura Robinson.
This is the conversation I wish I had a decade ago, back when I thought grit and sacrifice were the only way to run a business while raising a neurodivergent child.
Spoiler: You don’t need more grit. You need more permission.
Laura’s story isn’t the shiny “I had a dream and built a business!” narrative we’re sold online. It started in crisis.
“Our second son was in and out of the hospital from birth. I’d had two C-sections, appendicitis, pleurisy, a major bereavement… I was as broken as I could possibly be.”
When Business Begins Out of Necessity, Not Ambition
“The thought that I could’ve had a job was ridiculous. I’d walk in the front door and the school would call: ‘We need you back.’ This happened constantly.”
-Laura Robinson
Laura has chronic neurological and vascular conditions whose symptoms mirror ADHD: executive dysfunction, dysregulation, and shifting capacity.

A kinder future for our kids begins with kindness toward ourselves.
