Neurodivergent individuals are acutely aware of their differences energetically, physically, emotionally and mentally.<\/p>\n<p>Blocking your emotions and masking (repression of emotion, suppressing your natural way of existing and camouflaging), may lead to burn out, disconnection and isolation. Perceived skill deficits, masking and repression (years of bottled up nervous energy) can lead to people believing that they have utilised all-of the responses in their coping repertoire, including seeking help, and develop maladaptive thinking about their plight. Whilst it is important to teach people about refraining (holding back), repression has a different energy in which you are afraid to express your emotions or feel the need to suppress your natural way of existing. To refrain is a healthy response, rather than a reaction, that is a choice rather than a requirement. It is important that clients feel safe enough to reach out for help, before they reach breaking point.<\/p>\n<p>Many clients block their emotions and mask (camouflage) due to societal discrimination and a lack of accommodations designed to meet the neurocognitive needs of neurodivergent minds. An important first step to removing the mask is one of acceptance, before we can identify and embrace the many strengths and beauty of neurodivergent minds. When we can come to accept our whole selves, we can remove the mask that makes us feel hidden, rejected and disconnected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-501b5f4 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"501b5f4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf30d9c\" data-id=\"cf30d9c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e67ebd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e67ebd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In order to show up for Autistic adults and adults with ADHD, we need to create a safe space to speak of these five truths.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba54f64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ba54f64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

Specific areas of the brain detect and evaluate features such as body and facial expressions and environmental triggers to evaluate an impression of safety or trustworthiness. In looking through the lens of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/basics\/vagus-nerve\">polyvagal<\/a>\u00a0theory we can understand that although an environment may not appear to be threatening (e.g., a noisy, busy, brightly lit lecture theatre), the neuroceptive circuits of a neurodivergent individual may be triggered. A neuroception of safety is necessary before social engagement behaviors can occur.<\/p><p>Neurodivergent individuals are susceptible to emotional contagion (the tendency to absorb, catch, or be influenced by other people\u2019s feelings) and can distinguish very subtle cues that others would not. Professor Tony Attwood described this as a sixth sense and likened this experience to the analogy of a negative tone of voice infecting a neurotypical person at the strength of a cold. In contrast, the neurodivergent individual is infected at the strength of the flu. This can be an overwhelming experience that cannot be easily bypassed. Emotional dismissal can be crippling.<\/p><p>A sense of safety (i.e., a visceral feeling of safety) requires both a reduction of cues of danger and the experience of cues of safety (Porges, 2009). Polyvagal theory provides us with a sophisticated understanding of why focused attunement with another person can shift us out of disorganized and fearful states (Porges, 2009). Demonstrating emotional attunement (a desire to understand and an ability to respect the person\u2019s inner world) further promotes social and emotional development (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/basics\/self-control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-regulation<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/basics\/attachment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attachment<\/a>, and a sense of self).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5441b79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5441b79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

Co-regulation is defined as the way in which one person\u2019s autonomic nervous system interacts with another person\u2019s autonomic nervous system in a way that facilitates connection and safety. This involves a recognition of a shift in one\u2019s autonomic state, which is met with a responsive, warm, calming presence and tone of voice. In order to facilitate co-regulation, you need to honor the person&#8217;s experience (i.e. you are not trying to resolve or escape from the emotion, rather you are emotionally attuned to meeting them where they are at). Co-regulation is dependent upon how the person is seen, heard, held and the ways they are offered safety and connection (Dana, 2020).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07825e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"07825e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

Ployvagal theory has enabled us to become more conscious of combining top-down approaches (e.g., promoting new ways of thinking) with bottom-up methods. Bottom-up behaviours are instinctual and require understanding, compassion and actively helping the individual to feel safe (Delahooke, 2019).<\/p><p>It is important to acknowledge that accommodations need to look beyond behaviours. A client with ADHD who is having difficulty actioning a task will require a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses working with an interest-based nervous system, time blindness,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/basics\/executive-function\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive functioning<\/a>\u00a0concerns, a failure life-trap etc., and thus strategies of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/basics\/time-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time management<\/a>\u00a0will unlikely be successful.<\/p><p>Positive acceptance and understanding of neurodivergence contributes to continued growth, self-awareness, and finding a balance between continuing to work to overcome challenges, whilst also allowing space for a sense of acceptance and willingness to accept accommodations where appropriate.

The first component of having a self-compassionate stance requires that one is kind and understanding towards oneself when failure, inadequacy, or misfortune is experienced (Neff, 2005).<\/p><p>The second component of self-compassion, defined as \u2018common humanity\u2019, originates from the proposition that \u201chealthy and constructive self-attitudes stem in part from de-emphasising the separate self, rather than merely building up and solidifying one\u2019s separate and unique identity\u201d (Neff, 2003; 96). The common humanity component of self-compassion allows for the recognition of the related experiences of the self and other, in which pain and imperfection are acknowledged as an inevitable part of the human experience, as opposed to isolated occurrences that only happen to one alone (Neff, 2005). By focusing on the interconnected aspects of experience an individual high in self-compassion acknowledges that all human beings fail and experience pain.<\/p><p>The third component of self-compassion, defined as \u2018mindfulness\u2019, requires taking a balanced approach to our negative emotions so that feelings are neither suppressed nor exaggerated (Neff, 2003).

This information is essential for providing a toolbox of coping skills to treat mental health concerns. Personalising treatment for precision goes beyond challenging thinking and treating avoidance behaviours to allow people to embrace their authentic self.<\/p><p>The discipline of psychology is evolving at a rapid pace, with a move away from the idea that people need to meet neuro-normative expectations in-order-to succeed in life.

Schema therapy is a powerful therapeutic intervention that allows clients to identify psychological defences and self-defeating patterns that begin early in life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy educates clients on how to challenge problematic cognitions (thoughts and core beliefs) and behaviours that can amplify distress. Acceptance Commitment Therapy encourages people to be mindful of their emotions in a curious and non-judgmental manner, which allows them to change how they pay attention to an emotion and sets the framework for managing distress in a healthy way.<\/p><p>Please note DSM-V diagnosis, psychological and psychiatric (appropriate use of medication and psychiatric care) treatment provides the key to understanding, resources and support. The Functional Legacy Mindset \u2013 Five Mind Model\u2122 should not be used to replace a face to face clinical interview to assess diagnosis of mental health concerns and material on this website does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you are experiencing significant emotional difficulties, you should contact your GP to obtain a referral to see a qualified professional. The Functional Legacy Mindset\u2122 approach was designed to address environmental factors that may be adversely impacting different minds.<\/p><p>When you build a healthy self-concept, clients are eager to learn and are more likely to develop a self-compassionate mindset that acknowledges that support is vital and needed.
