neurodivergence

Understanding and embracing neurodivergence—whether it’s ADHD, autism or both—can transform lives. Many adults discover they’re neurodivergent later in life, recognising traits that may have been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or masked for years.

ADHD and autism are complex neurodevelopmental conditions influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Both often run in families, with traits manifesting differently in adults compared to children. While ADHD can appear as struggles with focus, impulsivity, or emotional regulation, autism often involves challenges with social interactions, communication, sensory sensitivities and a preference for routine. The traits vary widely, as both ADHD and autism exist on a spectrum. 

Living with ADHD or autism presents unique challenges, but it also comes with strengths such as creativity, problem-solving and focus on passions. With the right strategies and support, neurodivergent adults can thrive personally and professionally. Key steps include  seeking clarity and support, getting support and leveraging strengths.

Understanding yourself is a critical step toward empowerment, and accepting your neurodivergence not as a limitation but as a source of strength allows you to navigate life with confidence. Support and tailored strategies make a world of difference, whether you’re seeking to manage daily challenges, improve relationships, or achieve professional goals.
