How Do I Know If I’m Neurodivergent?
Neurodivergence isn’t something that needs to be "fixed"—it’s a natural variation in the way brains function. Understanding yourself and finding the right support can help you navigate challenges while embracing your strengths.
✔ Social Differences: Difficulty interpreting social cues or forming relationships
✔ Sensory Sensitivities: Overwhelm from loud sounds, bright lights, or certain textures
✔ Focus & Attention Challenges: Struggles with concentration or traditional learning environments
✔ Repetitive Behaviors: Comfort in routines, stimming, or engaging in structured habits
✔ Emotional Intensity: Deep emotional experiences or difficulty regulating feelings
✔ Strong Special Interests: Passionate focus on specific topics or hobbies

If these experiences resonate with you, you may be neurodivergent. Our therapists in Long Island are here to help you better understand yourself and develop strategies that empower you in your everyday life.
