Help for Hyperfixation
Embrace The Uniqueness
-
Embrace your child's hyperfixation as a valuable learning opportunity. Support their interests and encourage them to explore and learn more about the subject.
-
Set designated times for their hyperfixation and other responsibilities can help create a balanced routine.
Encourage Socialization
-
While hyperfixation can be a solitary activity, encourage your child to engage in social interactions related to their interests.
-
This can include joining clubs or online forums focused on their interests, which can provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals.​
Set Limits and Create Boundaries
-
Establish boundaries around hyperfixation to ensure it doesn't interfere with essential daily activities or responsibilities.
-
Help your child recognize when it's time to transition from their hyperfixation to other activities.
-
Use timers or schedules to assist with this transition.
Broaden the Scope
- Encourage your child to explore different interests and activities to broaden their horizons. You may tap into an area of talent!
- Introducing them to a variety of hobbies and subjects can help them discover new passions and interests while providing a break from their hyperfixation.​

Promoting Proper Development from Conception Onward
It may very well "take a village to raise a child," but the days of villages, communities, and even extended families in raising children are long lost. Without built-in supports, many modern parents of the neurodivergent find themselves utterly exhausted, overwhelmed, lost, guilt-ridden, and burnt out.
​
NeurOm is here to help fill that void.
At NeurOm, our vision is to rekindle the spirit of the village in today's modern world, providing a robust and compassionate support system for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children. We aspire to create a community that surrounds these families with unwavering support, understanding, and resources, enabling them to navigate the neurodivergent journey with resilience, hope, and the assurance that they are never alone.
​
Core Values
Community Reimagined: We believe in redefining the concept of 'it takes a village' for the modern age, building a virtual village that spans the globe and is there for every caregiver of a neurodivergent child.
​
Empathetic Connection: We are committed to fostering deep connections within our community, where empathy, active listening, and shared experiences create bonds that strengthen and uplift.
​
Resilience and Hope: We provide not just support but also a wellspring of hope and resilience to caregivers, helping them find strength in their journey.
​
Guidance and Resources: We offer a wealth of carefully curated resources, information, and expert guidance to empower caregivers with knowledge and options.
​
Inclusivity: Our village welcomes all, regardless of background, geography, or neurodivergent condition, and we celebrate the rich tapestry of diversity within our community.
​
Preventing Burnout: We are dedicated to ensuring that caregivers have the tools and support needed to prevent burnout, guilt, and overwhelm, promoting their own well-being as they care for their children.
​
Advocacy for Change: We advocate for a world where neurodivergent children and their families are fully embraced and supported, striving for systemic change in education, healthcare, and societal attitudes.
With this vision, NeurOm envisions a world where caregivers of neurodivergent children are no longer isolated or overwhelmed but are part of a thriving global village that stands by their side, offering strength, resources, and hope throughout their journey.

Product and Service Vetting
We've done the research and reviewing for you.
All products are selected to be: safe and non-toxic, comfortable for children with sensory uniqueness, development enhancing and developmentally appropriate, and easy to maintain and clean.
All services, classes, and therapies are vetted to best meet the developmental needs of children and to help ease the burdens of their parents.
​
Most importantly, the villagers only display products and services that we strongly believe will improve the quality of your and your neurodivergent children's lives. We only bother with the MUST HAVES or the SUPER HELPFUL!
