Neurodiversity including ADHD and ASD

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.

While many organizations have started to pay attention to diversity, equity and inclusion, they often don’t consider neurodiversity as an important aspect of these efforts. “Neurodiversity” refers to variations in how people’s brains work. We generally refer to neurodivergent individuals as those with autism and ADHD, but it can also include dyslexia (difficulty making sense of written text) and dyscalculia (difficulty making sense of math). People who are neurodivergent bring unique strengths to the workplace, but they often experience difficulty finding work and staying employed.
