Neurodivergent Adults
There are many unique challenges that neurodivergent adults can face, especially those who are late diagnosed.
Reframing Autism has facilitated the development of a community-designed “Welcome Pack.” The Welcome Pack has been developed through a neuro-affirming lens, where Autism is seen as a difference rather than a deficit. It is a resource, designed to welcome newly diagnosed Autistic individuals to our community following the diagnostic process. This resource will also provide informative and reflective support to newly diagnosed Autistic adults in their everyday lives.
A free self-paced, online, life-skills resource. The resource consists of ten life-skills modules, which you can access at your own pace in a secure, safe and fun online environment that allows you to choose your own adventure! These modules have been produced by autistic people and professionals, to support autistic adults to achieve their goals.
The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) in America has created an Autism & Safety Toolkit – the first toolkit made by autistic self-advocates, focusing on safety issues that affect us and the tools to deal with them. This toolkit provides information about Abuse and neglect, Bullying, Interactions with police, Mental health, Safely navigating the community.
