Neurodivergent-Affirming Care: The 5 Questions You Need
Description
Finding a neurodivergent-affirming provider shouldn’t feel impossible — but for many autistic and ADHD adults, the healthcare system can be invalidating, confusing, or even overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing five questions that will help you determine whether a doctor, therapist, or assessor is truly affirming, respectful, and informed.
In this episode you’ll learn:
What “neurodivergent-affirming care” actually means
How to screen a provider during an intake call
Green flags and red flags to listen for
How to avoid being pathologized or dismissed
Why these questions reveal so much about a provider’s mindset
You deserve care that sees you, respects you, and works with your neurotype — not against it.
