A New Word: "Neurodiversity Affirming"

In the field of mental health, there is a growing movement towards "neurodiversity affirming" approaches. This term recognizes that neurodivergence, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, is not a disorder but rather a natural variation in human neurology. Neurodiversity affirming counselling focuses on supporting individuals' strengths and differences, empowering them to thrive in a world that often values conformity.

Strategies for Achieving Neurodiversity Affirming Counselling

To achieve a neurodiversity affirming approach, counsellors can:

• Educate themselves about neurodiversity and the experiences of neurodivergent individuals
• Create a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel understood and accepted
• Use language that is respectful and recognizes neurodiversity
• Collaborate with clients to develop individualized support plans that meet their unique needs
• Advocate for access to resources and accommodations for neurodivergent individuals
