Neurodivergence Pt. 1 – Neuro-affirming Language

Language can be stigmatizing by its very nature. As we work through this series on how to best help neurodivergent clients, the first step is learning Neuro-affirming language. Perpetuating language that has clients feeling less than based on their neurotype can have clients “hating” themselves. That is harmful. Acknowledging that not all people have the same types of brains, AND learning language that can help people to learn self acceptance, is a huge piece of healing for the people we serve.
