Challenging Neuronormativity: Supporting Late-Identified Neurodivergent Adults

Challenging Neuronormativity: Supporting Late-Identified Neurodivergent Adults

This webinar invites social workers to explore the distinct needs of adults who discover their neurodivergence later in life, particularly those with late diagnoses of autism and ADHD. A neurodivergent therapist will discuss the impact of compulsory neuronormativity and the deficit-based medical model on late-diagnosed individuals. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by this often overlooked and misunderstood population, recognize their unique needs, and begin developing effective strategies to offer meaningful support to late-identified neurodivergent adults.
