Neurodiversity
Some of us have a neurotypical brain, and some have a neurodivergent brain (different to the norm). Autism and ADHD are examples of a neurodivergent brain.
All neurotypes are important, valued, and critical to society. Many neurodivergent people feel forced to mask their neurotype in order to ‘fit in’. Sadly, this often leads to many issues.
Neurodivergent Affirming Care
Autism does not need to be fixed or cured. It’s not a disorder. It’s simply a different way of thinking, feeling and interacting.
"Neurodiversity may be the birthplace of some of humanity’s greatest minds" - Harvey Bloome
Autism and ADHD are now celebrated within the range of neurodiversity. Whilst these are not a disorder, they are a disability, but one that has unique gifts and strengths.
The neurodiversity affirming approach focusses on inclusion and acceptance of all neurotypes. It’s informed by trauma research and the social model of disability.
It challenges the medical model of disability.
It’s also about identifying our unique strengths.
We believe that our neurotype is essential to society and that we deserve respect.
We (neurokin) are the experts in neurodiversity, not neurotypical individuals.

Let's talk FAQs
Who do you see?
I see neurodivergent adult folk who may also have chronic pain, illness, and trauma.
Does online therapy and assessments work?
For many people (not all), this works very well. Plus it's accessible, convenient, and comfortable.
Is that water or vodka that I see you drinking during our sessions?
Hahaha - wouldn't you like to know! 🥂
"Refusing to perform neurotypicality is a revolutionary act of disability justice. It's also a radical act of self-love.”
