Written by neurodivergent psychologists for neurodivergent readers, this empowering workbook offers self-compassion skills to help readers understand who they are and thrive.
Autistic and neurodivergent individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often navigate a world that feels misaligned with their needs. Many experience sensory sensitivities, social challenges, executive functioning difficulties, sleep disruptions, depression, anxiety, burnout, meltdowns, and trauma stemming from years of marginalization and microaggressions.
For those struggling with neurodivergent identity, it’s important to know these experiences are shared by many. Whether diagnosed in childhood or newly recognizing neurodivergence later in life, this workbook offers a supportive path away from internalized stigma, toward self-acceptance and proactive stress management to help prevent neurodivergent burnout.
The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and self-compassion techniques tailored specifically to the neurodivergent experience. With a focus on those with ADHD and Autism, this resource encourages authentic living, self-advocacy, pride in identity, enhanced well-being, and the development of meaningful relationships.
This workbook will help readers:
- Acknowledge personal needs and advocate effectively
- Unmask and express their authentic selves
- Reduce sensory overload and balance emotions
- Manage rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and social anxiety
- Build meaningful social connections
- Improve executive functioning to get more done
- Adapt their environment to better support neurodivergent functioning
Most importantly, this workbook encourages pride in neurodivergent identity. Whether autistic, ADHD, or both, readers will find support to move beyond self-criticism, strengthen self-advocacy, and develop practical skills to live fully and thrive as their authentic selves.
