🎉 Exciting News! 🎉
The ADHD Social Worker has a new name: The AuDHD Social Worker!

This change acknowledges the reality of my lived experience. Diagnosed with ADHD in 2022 and Autism in 2024, I’ve come to understand how both identities shape who I am and the work I do. It only felt right that my practice reflects this.

The name may be new, but the services remain the same: offering neuroaffirming, trauma-informed counselling, resources, and advocacy for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD individuals.

If you’d like to learn more about this change or how I can support you, head to my website: https://theaudhdsocialworker.com.au/.
