Do you think you might be Neurodivergent?
Getting a diagnosis or neurodivergent support through a needs assessment can help you understand yourself, validate your experiences and excel in everyday life.
What does neurodivergent mean?’
The term neurodivergence is used to describe when a person’s brain functions and behavioural traits differ from what is considered ‘typical’ for most people. Some people benefit from specific neurodivergent support to help them thrive.
Every individual is unique, but if you think you might be neurodivergent, you may experience some of these:
Common difficulties
- Reading, writing and spelling
- Memory
- Organisation
- Time management
- Concentration
- Communication
- Social cues
- Changes to routine
- Sensory sensitivities
Common strengths
- Problem solving
- Innovative thinking
- Creativity
- Focus
- Critical thinking
- Abililty to identify themes/trends
- Spatial knowledge
- Verbal communication
Perhaps you have asked yourself: ‘Am I neurodivergent?’, ‘Should I get a diagnosis?’, ‘Do I need a diagnosis?’, ‘What does assessment include?’ and ‘What support is available to me?’
This is perfectly natural and these are common questions that we hear.
