What is neurodiversity-affirming care?

Neurodiversity-affirming care appreciates neurological differences without pathologizing our autistic and ADHD patients. We look beyond the neurotypical lens, centering the well-being of an autistic or ADHD individual to help them lead their most fulfilling, meaningful, and functional life.

This is in contrast to the traditional medical model of care in which the goal of treatment is to “fix” autism or ADHD to make an individual appear neurotypical. We help individuals live their most authentic neurodivergent lives.

Neurodiversity-affirming care celebrates each person’s unique strengths while validating their challenges and cultivating self-acceptance. We prioritize self-determination. Our clinicians invite patients as co-explorers of themselves, inspiring curiosity and deepening self-knowledge. Instead of “cure” we focus on quality of life, freedom, and authenticity.
