Many people grow up feeling different from others, not fitting in, and experiencing challenges relating to others. When born with this difference, it is known as neurodiversity. One form of this is autism. Autistic people often have difficulty with social interaction (among other characteristic challenges). Another form is ADHD, which involves trouble focusing, staying still, or keeping organized. These two forms of neurodiversity can be experienced at the same time. The brains of such people may be “wired differently,” but self-acceptance and self-understanding are crucial for the happiness of the individual. Learning strategies to compensate for the challenges involved are also important, as is proper diagnosis, treatment, and medication. Our services can help with all this.
