Description

It’s not easy to discover you’re neurodivergent, to realise how it has and does affect your life. It brings up a whole host of thoughts and feelings and it can be quite the rollercoaster. As I mulled over the journey I was taking after my ADHD discovery a framework for the process we go through formed in my head.

The Neurodivergent Self-discovery Spiral is how I see the journey I, and other neurodivergent folk I’ve spoken with, go through as we process what an ND realisation or diagnosis means for us. I hope by sharing it in this episode it may help to describe the process you’re going through and by doing so give you some explanation, encouragement and comfort.
