Summary
Finding a neurodivergent-affirming provider shouldn’t feel impossible — but for many autistic and ADHD adults, the healthcare system can be invalidating, confusing, or even overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing five questions that will help you determine whether a doctor, therapist, or assessor is truly affirming, respectful, and informed. In this episode you’ll learn: What “neurodivergent-affirming care” actually means How to screen a provider during an intake call Green flags and red flags to listen for How to avoid being pathologized or dismissed Why these questions reveal so much about a provider’s mindset You deserve care that sees you, respects you, and works with your neurotype — not against it.
