Neurodivergence is a concept that describes the experience of having a mind and nervous system that work differently than how society expects. There is not a singular understanding of neurodivergence, but it is often used as an umbrella that includes many conditions and identities, including autism, ADHD, FASD, dyspraxia, and more. Neurodivergent people’s experiences of chronic pain may be different than neurotypical experiences, and they may experience higher levels of chronic pain and have trouble getting diagnosed and treated properly because of stigma or disbelief from healthcare providers.
In this session, panelists with lived experience and clinical/research expertise in neurodivergence and chronic pain will discuss different experiences of diagnosis and self-discovery, how intersecting identities and social positions can impact the experience of neurodivergence and chronic pain, and considerations for neuroaffirming treatment and self-management options for chronic pain.
