Nurturing Neurodivergence

Book description:
Life is hard even without unidentified neurodivergence, and you are not alone if you'd spent years wondering why everything was so hard before realising you're neurodivergent. That knowledge may come as a relief, but you may feel just as lost trying to navigate a predominantly neurotypical world. Support and resources for late-identified neurodivergent adults tend to be scarce compared to those for children and parents. Therefore, this workbook-guide is specially created for late-identified autistic and/or ADHDer adults.
Written in a relaxed, easy-to-read tone, this neuro-affirming book combines research findings and clinical experience to help you better understand not only neurodivergence in general, but also what your late-identification means to you. It offers concrete strategies and tools to support you to build healthier relationships with yourself and with those around you. This is key to creating a more sustainable way of living, and to prevent neurodivergent burnout.
In each chapter, you'll come across questions and activities that can be used for guided introspective reflections. There are plenty of engaging infographics explaining key concepts (printed in premium, full colour!), which cater to the ways that many neurodivergent people process information. This book draws on a range of evidence-based psychotherapy models, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This will also be a fantastic neuroaffirming resource for mental health practitioners working with neurodivergent clients.
