Understanding Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence refers to a variety of neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and others that influence how individuals think, learn, and interact with the world. While neurodivergent individuals often possess unique strengths and perspectives, they may also face challenges that can impact their mental health and well-being. Therapy can provide valuable support in navigating these challenges and celebrating neurodiversity.
