Neurodivergence in Adulthood

Understanding Neurodivergence in Adulthood – Psychologist in Springwood.

Identifying or exploring the possibility of neurodivergence as an adult can have many impacts on your life, such as redefining your sense of identity, how you approach relationships, and how you view the world. Whilst often clients report this process as empowering, it may also be confronting when processing childhood experiences through a lens of understanding neurodivergence. For people who identify neurodivergence as an adult—whether that’s autism, ADHD, or another condition—it’s a common experience to feel misunderstood. Neurodivergent individuals often report facing challenges throughout life, with no real understanding of why things are difficult, or how to improve. This can be due to individuals developing within environments that aren’t built with neurodiversity in mind.

But being neurodivergent also comes with unique strengths, and learning to embrace and understand these differences can lead to greater self-awareness, resilience, and innovative problem solving. At SK Psychology, we’re here to help you explore your neurodivergent identity, navigate the ups and downs, and develop strategies for thriving in a world that doesn’t always feel accommodating.

Whether you’re just beginning to understand your neurodivergence or have been navigating it for years, we offer a safe space to explore your experiences, build self-advocacy skills, and find ways to live a fulfilling and balanced life. If you would like to start your journey of understanding neurodivergence at SK Psychology, please feel free to use the contact form to book an appointment.
