How Do I Know If I’m Neurodivergent?
Neurodivergence is a broad term describing differences in how the brain processes information. It isn’t a disorder or problem to be fixed, but rather a way of being that deserves understanding and support.
Common signs of neurodivergence include:
- Social Challenges: Difficulty interpreting social cues or forming relationships
- Sensory Sensitivities: Overwhelm from bright lights, loud noises, or crowded spaces
- Focus & Attention Differences: Difficulty staying on task or learning in traditional settings
- Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in comforting habits or stimming
- Emotional Intensity: Experiencing deep emotions or difficulty regulating feelings
- Strong Special Interests: Deep passion for specific topics or hobbies
- Difficulty with Change: Struggles adapting to new routines or unexpected shifts
If these experiences resonate with you, you may be neurodivergent. Our therapists can help you explore what this means for you and provide tools for thriving in a neurotypical world—on your own terms.
