Today's Sunday Something, after Neurodiversity Celebration Week...

As is always the case, people are grumbling about this apparent 'spike' in diagnoses. They often ask, with faux-concern (in my experience), what is to be *gained* by getting a diagnosis, and *why* do people need to find validation in labels?

These questions are grounded in a total misunderstanding of what neurodivergence is, and are often dripping in the assumption that a diagnosis of autism, or dyslexia, or ADHD, or dyspraxia is a huge medical negative.

The fact is that for so many of us, 'diagnosis' is in fact 'realisation'. We *realise* we're neurodivergent, and this helps us make sense of the world and make sense of ourselves. It isn't a label - it's a self-recognition of our own reality, which may have been undiscovered for so long.

And in recognising ourselves to be neurodivergent, we may find answers, peace, calm, joy. Or just further questions. But we deserve to know. And we deserve to be validated in our own reality.

Occupational Therapy ABC says: Stimming is a natural and important coping mechanism. Stimming is a way to manage emotions, reduce anxiety and a way of expressing excitement and happiness. For that reason, it’s important not to stop people stimming.

Klei bly een van my gunsteling mediums om tydens terapie te gebruik🙂

Play dough, play dough, play dough. Who doesn't love play dough?! A silent teacher in disguise that aids in the development of MANY skills. Sensory, fine motor, hand strength, tool use...the list goes on. Practice those prewriting and scissor skills with the use of play dough.
