Thriive is designed for parents and carers of neurodivergent children (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory processing differences, and more). Whether you have a diagnosis or are still figuring things out, Thriive helps you manage daily life.

My child hasn't been formally diagnosed yet. Is this still useful?

Absolutely. Many of the strategies in Thriive are helpful for any child who struggles with focus, emotional regulation, or executive function — diagnosis or not.

What features does Thriive include?

Thriive includes visual routine builders, a challenge tracker with pattern detection, a strategy library tailored to your child's neurodivergent profile, daily check-ins, mood tracking, and shareable reports for doctors and schools.

Yes — Thriive is free to start with core features. A Pro tier is available for families who want advanced tracking, unlimited routines, and additional features.

Is this just for UK families?

While Thriive includes UK-specific resources (NHS, SENCO, EHCP guidance), the core strategies and tools are universal. Families worldwide use Thriive to support their neurodivergent children.

Social Battery Management

For when school runs, playdates, and social obligations drain you completely

Steps

Track your social energy on a simple scale: full, half, low, empty
Plan high-social days followed by low-demand recovery days
Give yourself permission to say no to non-essential social events
Use scripts for small talk situations that drain you (school gate, parties)
Identify one or two 'safe' parents you can be honest with about your energy levels

What you need

A calendar for planning, self-compassion, prepared exit strategies

Why it works

Autistic adults process social interaction with conscious effort that neurotypical people don't need. Each social exchange uses energy that doesn't regenerate quickly. Without managing social energy deliberately, autistic parents burn out from the relentless social demands of parenting.

Age guidance

Designed for adults. Particularly important for autistic parents who may not have been diagnosed until adulthood.

Real-world example

A parent who'd been forcing herself to chat at the school gate every day started giving herself permission to wave and walk on. She saved her social energy for the conversations that actually mattered and stopped dreading the afternoon pickup.

Troubleshooting

Arrive early and leave early. It's easier than staying the whole time
Texting instead of chatting at the gate is perfectly fine
Autistic burnout is real. If you're in it, professional support helps
