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.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
