Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence describes differences in how people’s brains work.

Neurodiverse brains are either: developmental (ADHD or Autism) or acquired (CPTSD).

Trauma changes how the brain reviews information, manages our emotions, and responds to threats, leading to different way of functioning.

Sip & Psych respects and appreciates the value of self-diagnosis. You don’t need to prove your
neurospicy-ness. We will work together on how to best support you - diagnosis or not.

I’ve noticed a significant overlap between neurospicy & queer folks, which has led to my learning and aim to be
neuro-affirming and support folks - queer or not.
