What do neurodivergent people need?
</div>
<br>
The lived experience of being neurodivergent varies from person to person. There's a saying that when you've met one neurodivergent person, you've met ''one'' neurodivergent person. While the talents, skills, and experiences can differ, there are some common areas of need, which can include:
* Help with grasping non-verbal communication
* Making and keeping relationships (e.g. friends, co-workers)
* Managing changes to routine
* Planning and organization
* Time management
* Differences in sensory processing (e.g. lighting, sound, crowds)
* Navigating communication differences (e.g. difficulty with reading, math)
