R.E.A.L. Neurodiverse: The Neurodiverse Connection
Today, more than ever before, neurodivergents and their family members are discovering their own neurodiversity and are seeking professional support so they can find the happiness they deserve. I was born a non-autistic in a Level 1 autism family and then married a Level 1 autistic man, all without knowing anything about neurodiversity. We sought services consistently, but none of the professionals recognized the neurodiversity and the services offered were developed for families of neurotypicals.
Today, I am the author of the R.E.A.L. Neurodiverse Family Systems Approach, a cutting-edge system that synthesizes research from renowned neuroscientists, psychologists, and developmental theorists into a practical 10-step approach recognizing the wholeness of all neurodivergents. My programs provides the education, assessments, and resources necessary for neurodivergents to take action, build skills, face challenges, and make informed decisions that will promote happiness and connection.
