The neurodiversity movement has gained substantial traction in recent years. As more neurodivergent individuals are becoming aware of and are drawn to the neurodiversity paradigm, they are wanting to seek out providers that understand and practice from a neurodiversity affirming approach.

As an example, ADHD is one neurotype of many that fall under the neurodivergent umbrella. ADHDers struggle with being able to think, communicate, and process information in neuronormative ways. Consistently not being able to meet these ascribed social norms can lead to shame, low self esteem, loss of sense of self, people pleasing, isolation, loneliness and more. Having support professionals who understand and can validate the ADHDer's lived experiences can be invaluable.
