Neurodivergence in Adults

Explore what neurodivergence can mean in adult life: understanding yourself, sensory differences, psychotherapy, and finding support. There are also training resources for practitioners.

Tests and self-observation

Resources for self-observation, exploring sensory differences, preparing for a conversation with a practitioner, and discussing individual needs.

Sensory Preferences Checklist helps you notice which sensations feel calming, activating, or overwhelming. It is a starting point for observation and discussion, not a diagnostic assessment.

Movement, balance, and why some sensations soothe while others overwhelm.

Proprioceptive sensory experiences

Body position, muscular effort, and supporting regulation through pressure and movement.
