Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy for ADHD, Autism, and Learning Differences

What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in the human brain and nervous system that affect how people think, learn, process information, and interact with the world. This includes conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other cognitive or sensory differences. Neurodivergent individuals may experience unique strengths—such as creativity, attention to detail, and innovative problem-solving—alongside challenges like sensory sensitivities, executive functioning difficulties, or social communication differences.
