Why neurodiversity-affirming
learning is important
Neurodivergent people think differently from the majority; they might be autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia, Down syndrome, or other differences. Neurodiversity celebrates all the variations in the human brain.
Social skills training often pressures neurodivergent children into behaving like the majority and is now thought to cause problems such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and masking.

An example:
Like many autistic children, Gemma is being taught social skills. There are lots of rules; things she is supposed to do and not supposed to do. In social situations, she tries very hard to remember all the rules. It is very stressful, she is worried that she might make a mistake and others will think she is weird. She feels like an actor, constantly pretending to be someone else. Her parents are worried, she seems very anxious and uncomfortable being herself lately.
What if Gemma could learn:
​
-
to be proud of her neurodiversity and who she is.
-
different ways to effectively and comfortably communicate.
-
how to balance her needs and the needs of others in social settings.
-
develop friendships while being herself.
​
She wouldn't need to act or follow rules anymore. She could be proud of herself and her stress, anxiety and low-confidence would vanish.
