Neurodiversity-affirming care embraces the child's neurodiversity, supporting them for who they are, rather than seeking to change them to fit a neurotypical mold. The specific supports for the child are guided by the individual child's wants and needs, taking into account their strengths and vulnerabilities.
In this webinar, three mental health professionals provide an overview of the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm, help families understand the importance of this approach, and identify both what to look for and what to avoid while seeking neurodiversity-affirming care. They also discuss how parents and other caregivers can create an affirming and supportive atmosphere at home.
