Hello Parent Members!

You can find me in the MPC community app under the username @DesertMom. I’m so excited to connect with all of you and share a bit about my journey.

My daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD at 11 years old. For years, her symptoms were overlooked—masked by an autoimmune disease—until we transitioned to a more progressive private school that finally recognized what was happening. It’s been a whirlwind since then, but a year later, we’re beginning to organize our lives in ways that celebrate and support her incredible superpowers.

Of course, just when we think we’ve figured things out, something shifts. It’s like trying to solve a constantly changing equation! Between body changes, hormones, tech updates, medical appointments, and everything in between, it often feels like we’re always on duty.

But I wouldn’t be where I am today without the generosity of others—both friends and strangers—who paused their busy lives to answer my countless questions. Many of those strangers have now become friends, and it’s because of their support that I want to give back here at MyParent Cafe.

Why MyParent Cafe?

This platform is designed specifically for parents, offering a space to ask questions, find solutions, and feel supported. Unlike other social media groups, which often try to fill this role but fall short, MyParent Cafe is purpose-built for parents’ needs.

One standout feature is IRIS, the AI Co-Parent, which quickly summarizes current wisdom and resources when you need immediate answers. But the magic doesn’t stop there—it’s up to us, as a community of parents, to build a growing Village where we share insights, advice, and encouragement.

My Role in Our Village

As a leader in this community, my goal is to help the Village grow while maintaining a supportive and welcoming environment. I’m here to connect, share what I’ve learned, and learn from others with more experience. Together, we can make this journey a little less daunting for each other.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you more in the app when you join as a Member. Let’s build something amazing together!

Warmly,
@DesertMom 

 If you know a parent of an child with ADHD and/or Dyslexia, please send them the link to this page so that they can join. MyParent Cafe - ADHD/Dyslexia - doesn't replace any of the existing communities that exist on traditional social media. We see this as a complimentary and ultimately safer and more helpful platform.

We're also looking for a few more Baristas for this ADHD/Dyslexia community. Baristas are the moderators and community stewards. As we grow, I do hope to invite a mix of parents, medical providers, education and behavioral specialists and non-profit representatives to help ensure the community needs are met.

Finally. We are looking for ADHD/Dyslexia PERK providers. Any product, service or non-profit dedicated to helping to meet the needs of the this parent community are invited to submit an interest form on our PERK page. We'll be sure to get back to you right away.
