If you’re autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD, it can be difficult to understand what your individual needs are. Many neurodivergent people say, “I have no idea what I need!” and then understandably struggle to identify what helps them. If this resonates, it’s not your fault.
Bringing your awareness to your individual needs is the first step toward understanding them and giving yourself permission to meet them. This is part of our 3 step process: Aware, Allow, Adapt.
This can feel even more complex if you’re a parent, especially in a multiply neurodivergent family. Clashing or contradictory needs between family members can create tension, misunderstandings, and overwhelm. Finding a balance that works for everyone is hard. But when needs go unmet, stress, burnout and conflict become more likely.
