Neurodiversity Affirmative Therapists
A group for therapists who value neurodiversity in clients, or themselves, or who want to learn about neurodiversity. The neurodiversity paradigm views conditions such as autism & attention deficits as naturally occurring variants in human neurology. Neurodiversity de-stigmatizes & de-pathologizes cognitive differences. Instead of seeking to make someone more ‘normal,’ neurodiversity affirming therapists are accepting of differences, & support helping people know & understand themselves, communicate their needs, & self-advocate. Aims are: to educate, spread awareness of neurodiversity, air & challenge problematic views, counter ableism, support neurodivergent voices, network, collaborate, share referrals, support each other, & to promote the neurodiversity paradigm within psychological services.
