All Things Neurodivergent

​​

"Neurodivergence" is an umbrella term used to describe individuals whose neurobiology and cognitive functioning diverges from the typical assumptions held about how people (including their executive functioning, way of thinking, sensory experience, and way of relating) tend to operate. Many experiences traditionally categorized as mental health or neurodevelopmental disorders can be considered neurodivergent variations, including- but not limited to:

• ADHD

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Learning Disorders

• Sensory Processing Disorder and/or Sensory Sensitivities

• Highly Sensitive People (not a diagnosis, but rather a clinical conceptualization that recognizes a group of people who have a stronger response to both internal and external stimuli

​

Your particular experience of this world can bring you a rich and unique existence; yet if the liabilities and challenges of your particular way of being are not recognized, named, and accomodated- your experience can be fraught with distress, overstimulation, and shame. Learn how to both grieve and embrace your own neurodivergence and identify ways to live a sensory-friendly and meaningful life.
