Neurodiverse

Are you relating to characteristics of neurodivergence? Have you spent hours looking up Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, PDA, Echolalia or executive functioning?

Have you shared your concerns with professionals and been met with disbelief and skepticism?

Are you exhausted from masking?

When the criteria for some of these diagnosis were developed researchers only studied white male children. Social psychologist, Dr. Devon Price states:

“It’s masked Autism, not “female Autism” that gets under diagnosed. A biracial gay man had his Autism overlooked for many of the same reasons many other women, queer folks and people of color do: we were never included when assessments were developed.” 

Although research has come a long way there is still progress to be made. Many professionals are not caught up on the latest research and patients are being told “you’re just quirky,” “you should try harder,” and “but everyone is on the spectrum.”

A diagnosis can help you find solutions to symptoms that are interfering with your daily life. I am here to support you and advocate for you in a health system that doesn’t always get it.
