We are still looking for neurodivergent teenagers with or without a depression diagnosis and their parents to join our study. Help us understand and measure depression better in these young people. Email nicolejansson01@gmail.com #Autism #ADHD #AuDHD #DCD #Dyspraxia

Autistics are often praised for their abilities in logical thinking, but what about our creativity and imagination? embrace-autism.com/misconceptions…

Unfortunately Dyspraxia is not well recognised or supported so it's important that we help educate and advocate. Everyone should have the opportunity to let their uniqueness, determination and creativity shine. #DyspraxiaAwareness

Embracing Autistic identity can transform an individual's mental health. Growing up feeling misunderstood or pressured to ""fit in"" with neurotypical norms can lead to anxiety & depression. When met with understanding & support they can thrive, feeling valued for who they are.
