Sometimes it is hard to know how much trust we have during an activity or with other people. For neurodivergent youth, a visual can help provide meaning to this word, “trust.” Trust is important to build connection and to also be a self-advocate. Connection will determine if the youth is operating from their learning brain or the part of their brain that senses danger and must act to survive.

When your neurodivergent teen likes your bed better. The clinician in me thinks, “seeking regulation after a long day.” And the tired mommy in me is thinking, “buddy, give me back my bed!” Two things can be true at the same time!

Love when clients discover all they CAN do! Because often times they are told what they can’t do. But they CAN do it, at their pace and in their own way.
