Reframing Autism and ADHD

Receiving an autism or ADHD diagnosis can often feel overwhelming, even daunting. But what if these diagnoses weren’t just challenges to overcome but opportunities to embrace unique strengths and perspectives?

In this episode, we explore how reframing autism and ADHD through a strengths-based lens can transform the way we support neurodivergent children, teens, and adults. We discuss the importance of recognising individual talents, fostering confidence, and creating inclusive environments where neurodivergent individuals can truly thrive.

In this episode:

• Why autism and ADHD should be viewed as differences, not deficits

• The strengths-based approach: celebrating creativity, focus, and problem-solving skills

• How positive psychology can empower neurodivergent children and teens

• Practical ways to create supportive environments at home, school, and work
