Understanding Neurodivergence

Neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and ADHD, often face unique challenges and possess distinct strengths that deserve recognition. The journey of self-discovery regarding one's neurodivergent identity is complex, especially when diagnoses occur later in life. It is crucial to foster an environment that both accepts and celebrates these differences, creating a sense of belonging within the neurodivergent community. Sharing personal experiences and insights can bridge understanding and help navigate the intricacies of these identities.
