Neurodiversity-affirming care recognizes neurodiversity as a natural variation in the way humans experience and interact with the world rather than a problem to be solved or cured while also acknowledging and addressing the ways that different neurotypes can make navigating a world not built with them in mind more difficult. Prioritizing neurotypical brains as the standard for mental health has resulted in over-pathologizing, lack of curiosity and trying to enforce neurotypical standards of behavior on neurodiverse individuals. Treatment plans in neuro-affirming care are tailored and continuously adapted to each client’s specific historyneeds, challenges, and strengths to help them reach their goals and thrive as their authentic selves.
