The Neurodiversity, Autism & ADHD Collection

It’s estimated that around 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently to a ‘neurotypical’ brain. For many neurodiverse people, thinking and experiencing the world differently to others can sometimes lead to difficult feelings and the need for extra support from those around them.

This collection contains a range of personal stories and supportive content to help navigate living with neurodivergence.

For many neurodiverse people, thinking differently to others can sometimes cause anxiety, through being misunderstood or not understanding social expectations.

If you’re experiencing anxiety, it can be really helpful to practise mindfulness. You can explore our Mindfulness Collection here. 

Plus, we’ve picked out some of our most popular mindfulness exercises that might help you. Why not give them a try?
