The Emotional Aftershock for Autistic & ADHD Kids
A self-regulation programme for parents of autistic and ADHD children
Because what happens after the meltdown matters just as much as what happens during it.
After the Meltdown: The Silent Storm
This is the part no one talks about—
the quiet chaos, the heavy stillness, the moment you’re left holding all the pieces they couldn’t.
Not when the screaming stops.
Not when you’ve swept up the Lego, pretending your hands aren’t shaking.
Not when they finally fall asleep, cheeks flushed, muscles twitching in aftershock.
Not when the silence wraps around the house like a shroud.
Because you’re still there—exhausted, wired, wondering:
“Was that my fault?”
“Did I escalate it?”
“How can I go through this again tomorrow?”
Parenting blogs urge you to “stay calm” and “stay connected.”
But they don’t say how when your body’s shaking and your child is yelling you’ve ruined their life over a toothbrush.
They don’t talk about your emotional aftershock. Or the silent panic in your chest hours later.
They don’t talk about you.
They don’t talk about what happens next.
You’re not a Bad Parent. You’re an Unsupported One.

You’re caught in an emotional loop no one prepared you for.
Trying to stay calm while your body is on high alert.
Trying to soothe while your own cup is empty.
Wanting to do better, but so tired of falling apart alone.
You’re not broken.
You’re burnt out.
You need a map through the storm.
That’s why I created – Beyond the Meltdown –

A realistic, emotionally grounded guide—shaped by both my professional expertise and personal experience—focused on the part no one prepares you for: the recovery.
Because the hardest moments aren’t just when the meltdown peaks.
They’re when you think it’s over—when the noise stops but the panic doesn’t.
When your child’s nervous system is frayed and your own is in pieces.
When repair matters most, and you feel least capable.
This programme is not about:
Behaviour charts.
Sticker rewards for masking distress.
“Just stay calm” advice with no tools.
This programme is knowing what to do after—when the real emotional work begins.
It is all about:
Nervous system care.
Emotional repair.
A grounded, compassionate companion for real-life parenting.
Here’s What – Beyond the Meltdown – Offers You
This programme won’t tell you to “breathe through it” and walk away.
It won’t ask you to parent like a Zen monk while your child is trying to bite your arm.
It’s not theoretical, and it’s not written from a clinical perch.
It’s written for you—the parent who’s cried quietly in the kitchen after holding it together all day.
The parent who wants to do better but also just wants to be allowed to feel tired.
The parent who knows their child isn’t “misbehaving,” but doesn’t always know what to do instead.

Why You Can Trust This Programme
I’m not here to sell you a miracle fix.
I’m here because I’ve sat where you’re sitting.
I know what it feels like to love your child with everything you have and still feel utterly lost during their hardest moments.
To want to help, but have no script.
To stay calm, but feel your body screaming from the inside out.
To try your best and still go to bed with that familiar, burning guilt.
This programme isn’t built on parenting theory.
It’s built on:
The neuro-affirming pedagogy that I developed through my research.
Real-world regulation tools that don’t require perfect conditions or superhuman calm.
Lived experience—of being the parent holding it all together while I was falling apart inside.
What parents are saying:
Christine’s work was the first time I felt truly seen as a parent of a neurodivergent child. Beyond the Meltdown gave me words, structure, and hope when I was stuck in pure survival.
— Jenna, mum of an autistic boy (7-year-old)
I didn’t expect it to change me so much. This wasn’t just about my child’s meltdowns—it helped me notice my own patterns too. Everything feels less chaotic now.
— Ruth, single parent of two ADHD children
I’ve done the courses, read the blogs, followed the experts—but nothing felt this honest, this usable. Finally, something that works for my actual life.
— Tom, dad of a PDA-profile teenager
Excellent material that showcases a balanced combination of theory and research formed into practical strategies. The research behind it has been adapted beautifully, so it is easy to read and follow. The purpose of each unit and workbook highlights clearly the outcomes you are looking to achieve. I particularly like the workbook materials and the practical statements and tips, which show you how to make this work for you. I especially love the wee notes on the side of each page, which capture important messages and insights from Christine’s lived experiences as a mum.
— Giota Katsonopoulou, Speech and Language Therapist NHS greater Glasgow and Clyde.
I recently completed Christine Marmoy’s programme, and it was an exceptionally insightful and valuable experience. As a parent who suspects her child may be exhibiting signs of neurodivergence, I found the course to be a really powerful resource for deepening my understanding of my child’s emotional and sensory experiences.
The content is thoughtfully structured and grounded in both empathy and research. It offers clear, practical guidance on how to support children in the aftermath of emotional episodes, particularly following meltdowns. The explanations around post-meltdown behaviours were both enlightening and reassuring.
One of the programme’s greatest strengths is its ability to translate complex concepts into actionable, compassionate strategies, which is so helpful. It has significantly enhanced the way I interpret my child’s behaviour and helped me with tools to respond in ways that are respectful, calming, and supportive.
I would highly recommend it to any parent or caregiver seeking a deeper, more informed approach to supporting a neurodivergent child or a child who may be on that path. It is a thoughtful, professional, and empowering resource.
— Helen McLean, Mum, ADHD’er and Studio professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for autistic children? What if my child has ADHD or both?
The strategies are designed around nervous system regulation, not diagnostic labels. Whether your child is autistic, has ADHD, or is still undiagnosed—if they experience meltdowns, this is for you.
Is it easy to use? I’m already overwhelmed.
Yes. The modules are short, clear, and broken down into manageable sections. No jargon, no padding, and no pressure to finish all at once.
Is this for new parents or those with older kids?
It works for all ages. The emotional cycles and nervous system strategies apply whether your child is 4 or 14. You’ll find ways to tailor it to your child’s developmental stage.
What format is it in? Will I get physical products?
It’s 100% digital. You’ll receive 10 (+1) downloadable PDF documents that you can read on your device or print if you prefer.
Will this work if I’m also neurodivergent?
Yes—this programme was written by me, a neurodivergent mum of three, who knows exactly how hard it can be to hold it all together. I created it with our reality in mind—no unrealistic expectations, no polished perfection, just honest, doable strategies that actually support you in the chaos.
Do I get to keep the PDFs forever?
Yes, absolutely. Once you’ve downloaded the programme, it’s yours to keep. There’s no expiry, no logins, and no pressure to complete it by a certain date. You can come back to it whenever you need—whether that’s next week, or in the middle of a tough moment six months from now.

Please Note
Because Beyond the Meltdown is a fully downloadable programme, all purchases are final and non-refundable.
I’ve made this decision with care, keeping the price as accessible as possible so that the programme can reach families who truly need it. You’ll receive instant access to all four modules + bonus and the full set of tools as soon as you complete your purchase.
If you’re unsure whether it’s the right fit, I encourage you to read through this page again—and trust your instincts. This programme was created with compassion, clarity, and the raw, real-life experience of parenting three neurodivergent children. I’ve poured time, care, and lived insight into every module—because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, under-resourced, and still wanting to show up better. Beyond the Meltdown wasn’t built overnight. It was crafted with intention to offer something truly useful—something that could make a difference for parents like you, navigating the hardest moments with love and not nearly enough support.
It won’t be for everyone. But if it’s for you, you’ll feel it.
Final Words
This isn’t a parenting course.
It’s not a training, a method, or a box-ticking exercise.
It’s a nervous system companion.
A map through the most emotionally demanding parts of parenting a neurodivergent child.
A resource that speaks to the part of you that’s still quietly holding your breath, hoping the next meltdown won’t break you.
You deserve something that supports you too.
You’ve held it all. Let it hold you back.
No more!
