Neurodivergence describes the natural variation in human brain function and cognitive traits. It includes a range of neurological differences such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and others. Being neurodivergent means your brain processes information, learns, and behaves in ways that differ from what society considers "typical". These differences aren't flaws – they're simply part of human diversity, bringing unique strengths and perspectives.

What is Neurodivergence Screening?

Screening is typically the first step towards understanding yourself better or getting a diagnosis. It involves questionnaires or forms that help determine if you fit the typical profile of a specific neurodivergence.

Why is Neurodivergence Screening Important?

While the idea of "screening" might sound clinical, it offers several benefits:

  1. Empowering Self-understanding 📘

    • Gain insights into your neurodivergent traits

    • Shed light on your strengths and challenges

  2. Guided Support Pathways 🛤

    • Discover types of support that might benefit you

    • Shape your personalised support combination

  3. Initiating Formal Evaluations 📝

    • Often required before comprehensive assessments

    • Helps determine if further evaluation is needed

  4. Insightful Preliminary Analysis 📊

    • Provides an initial understanding of your traits

    • Identifies areas for deeper exploration

  5. Community Connection 🤝

    • Encourages interaction with similar individuals

    • Share experiences and find support

Important Considerations

  • Not all neurodivergent individuals will exceed screening thresholds

  • Many screening tools have biases against certain groups

  • Your neurodivergence is valid regardless of screening results
