ADHD & Autism Support Therapy
Welcome to a safe space designed for teens and young adults navigating life after receiving a later-in-life neurodiversity diagnosis. You may have experienced feelings of confusion, frustration, or isolation before your diagnosis, often struggling with symptoms like anxiety, difficulty with social interactions, or challenges in focusing. These feelings can leave you questioning your place in the world.
Before receiving a diagnosis, many neurodiverse individuals develop a tendency to mask their true selves - hiding or suppressing their behaviors and emotions to fit societal expectations. This masking can be exhausting and can lead to a sense of disconnection from your authentic self, leading to more emotional dysregulation.
After receiving your diagnosis, it’s natural to have mixed emotions. While it can bring clarity and validation, it might also come with new challenges as you learn to embrace your neurodivergent identity.
