We reflect on the importance of building an inclusive coaching space that does not rely only on textbook knowledge of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other neurodivergent conditions, but also listens deeply to lived experience. We discuss how easily coaches can make assumptions about clients when viewing behaviour through a neurotypical lens. A client who gives short answers may not be disengaged, and a client who moves quickly between ideas may not be unfocused. Inclusive coaching asks us to stay curious, adapt our approach, and recognise that every neurodivergent client's needs, strengths and experiences will be different. The episode also highlights the importance of recognising our own bias, whether we are neurotypical or neurodivergent ourselves. Being ready to coach neurodivergent clients is not about knowing everything. It is about ongoing learning, humility, psychological safety, thoughtful contracting, and a willingness to receive feedback so that every client can feel properly seen, heard and supported.
