Wording help needed!!

I’m having a bit of a deep dive into the wording on my community about page and I’d love some human brains on this because the wording and the language really matters to me.

I run a community for mums embracing neurodiversity and I’m currently reworking the copy and visuals for the about page as I want our category to clearly sit under Relationships, not self-improvement, it does not really feel right and aligned

The space is about a mums relationship with herself FIRST then the mother/ child relationship, nervous systems, and connection stuff

Here’s where I’m getting a bit stuck.

I know for sure this space is for mums of neurodivergent kids

BUT I also know first-hand that it doesn’t magically stop when our kids turn 18. The needs change for sure, but the need for support connection and understanding absolutely continues into adulthood. Is this making sense?

also I am very aware that words like kids/teens/youths etc all land differently depending on age experience and background. For example the word youth for me personally feels very youth club / youth offending based even though I know that’s not the actual definition, I asked a few friends and yeah they had similar vibes

Hence this post now

I don’t want to be vague. And I fir sure don’t want to accidentally exclude mums of adult neurodivergent children. And I don’t want to box it into a “this is just a phase” age range either!

With that said this is where I’m curious what wording feels most accurate and inclusive to you when describing offspring across childhood teens and adulthood while still being clear that this is a parenting relationship and nervous system space.

Things I’m playing with but not settled on are…

1- mums of neurodivergent children of any age

2-mums of neurodivergent kids and teens

3- mums parenting neurodivergence across the lifespan

But none of them feel quite right yet, going around in circles

Would totally love your thoughts or even just what doesn’t sit right for you when you read certain wording.

Thanks in advance
