Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity Support for Adults, Young People & Children in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire & Oxfordshire.

Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences—such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, and others—are natural variations of the human brain rather than deficits or disorders that need to be “fixed.” It emphasises that people experience and interact with the world in many different ways and that there is no single “right” way of thinking, learning, or behaving.

  • Perspective: It promotes acceptance and inclusion rather than pathologising these differences.

  • Social Model: Neurodiversity aligns with the social model of disability, which suggests that societal barriers, not just individual impairments, are what disable people.

  • Movement: The neurodiversity movement advocates for the rights, dignity, and contributions of neurodivergent individuals.

It’s important to note that while neurodiversity recognises natural variation, it doesn’t ignore the challenges people face; rather, it seeks to support individuals in ways that respect their unique needs and strengths.

It is also important to recognise that whilst medication works for some, it is helpful to gain support to develop the Executive Skills that are particularly challenging in relation to ADHD. These skills are recognisable from as young as 17 months and develop through to 26 years of age. Seated in the pre-frontal cortex the Executive Skills are as follows:

  • Sustaining focus
  • Working memory
  • Goal orientated focus
  • Planning and prioritisation
  • Organisation
  • Time management
  • Metacognition (thinking about how we think)
  • Cognitive flexibility & emotional regulation
Routines, healthy habits, a Growth Mindset and the development of CONSISTENT Executive Skills are fundamental to thriving as a child, adult or parent supporting a child with ADHD.
Also, supporting parents to navigate schools, local authorities and EHCP procedures positively and to learn coaching strategies to support the development of their child’s Executive Skills is helpful for the well-being of both parent and child.

Adults and Neurodiversity

Key Focus: Employment, relationships, and life satisfaction.

  • Common Scenarios:

    • Many adults are diagnosed later in life, often after their children are diagnosed or through self-research.

    • Challenges in navigating work environments not designed with neurodivergence in mind.

  • Approach: Promoting neuroinclusive workplaces and reducing stigma in adult relationships and healthcare.

Young People and Neurodiversity (Teens / Young Adults)

Key Focus: Identity development, self-advocacy, transition planning.

  • Common Experiences:

    • Increased self-awareness or formal diagnosis during teenage years.

    • Mental health challenges (e.g. anxiety, depression due to social pressures).

    • Difficulty navigating rigid educational or social systems.

  • Approach: Peer connection, mentorship, and environments that value differences.

Children and Neurodiversity

Key Focus: Early identification, support, and inclusive education.

  • Common Diagnoses: Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and speech/language disorders.

  • Challenges: Sensory sensitivities, difficulties with communication, learning differences, and social interaction struggles.

  • Approach: Building understanding in families and schools to nurture self-esteem and reduce stigma early on.
