Multiple or overlapping expression of neurodivergence

Multiple expressions of neurodivergence are the norm. It is much rarer for a person to have just one expression that can be clearly labelled.

Overlapping expressions of neurodivergence highlight the importance of a holistic approach in our services, where we prioritise the individual rather than the label.

We recognise that each person may experience varying degrees and combinations of neurodivergent traits, which can differently impact their body, mind, and emotions.

By exploring these unique interactions, we can tailor our support to meet the specific needs of each individual, fostering a more personalised and effective pathway to well-being.
