Interesting and enlightening info. Thanks Autum Romano!

Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness are three distinct neurotypes with many overlapping traits.

A neurotype is a particular combination of neuro-traits which results in a cluster of experiences and behaviors.

Although these neurotypes can be experienced separately, many of us experience more than one (or even all of them) simultaneously.

This diagram is an attempt to clarify and delineate which traits are associated with each neurotype, and which traits overlap in two or all three neurotypes.

As I fit into all three categories, it was challenging for me to tease apart the nuanced differences and where they overlap. Therefore, I looked at many sources to compile this list. Despite this, there may be varying opinions about the accuracy of these distinctions.

Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness are the currently accepted names, but all three names are problematic and are inaccurate descriptions of the actual experience.

(Please remember that this is for informational purposes only and not intended to be used for diagnosis or treatment.)

Image description in comments.

Edited: It seems that some people might be misunderstanding aspects of this diagram.
1. The traits listed are common traits of these neurotypes, but a person does not need to have all the traits listed. Actually, most ADHDers, Autistic, and Gifted people will not have all the traits listed for each neurotype.
2. As I wrote on the diagram, the overlapping areas are shared traits, which means they are traits that commonly occur in both or all three neurotypes. The overlapping areas are NOT listing traits that only show up when someone is multiply neurodivergent.

Great find, Christine Villasenor! Foster Source, you've done it again! Thank you for always sharing the wealth of your amazing partnerships!

We are so blessed to be a community partner of the Colorado Rockies. This partnership allows our foster and kinship families to request tickets through us to attend certain games throughout the season. Please only request tickets if you KNOW you can attend the game. Thank you!

https://junerockies2022.eventbrite.com

Deadline to request tickets for June is Friday, May 27 2022 @ 1pm.

Click "REGISTER" to see available games!!
***You must have a smart phone to request tickets as this year all tickets will be distributed electronically. ***

Things to remember:
The ticket requests are exactly that - requests. The Rockies do their best to accommodate us, and we know soon after the deadline each month what tickets we are able to receive. Your EVENTBRITE request is NOT your ticket.
Children 2 & under can sit on a lap. Children 3+ require a ticket. There are no current COVID protocols or requirements.
Most importantly, go Rockies!

WhimSpire is grateful to have been involved in this amazing family's journey!

"It was a passion of mine to become a chef. It was 2 months into my new job that I got a call from a caseworker saying that if no one of my family could step up and take the kids, they would be put up for adoption. With adoption there was a possibility I’d never see them again. I couldn't allow that; I couldn't imagine them thinking I would give up on them as well. I agreed to take them in with no hesitation. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I don't regret any of it."
