The Neurodivergent overlap
Neurodivergent overlap is often discussed. There will be many times when individuals meet the criteria for two, three or more neurodivergent conditions. However, frequently, individuals don't fit neatly in to these boxes and there may be an overlap of traits which don't meet more than one criterion. It can be disappointing to feel part of your identity isn't being recognised, the right clinician will have explored your complex neurodiversity within the relevant regulatory constraints, validate your experience and explain your diagnostic outcome to you so that this makes sense.
Private OT Reports & Private Diagnosis
Spreading awareness that there is no legal basis to refuse a private report or diagnosis. Courts consider the quality and relevance of the report not who paid for it! . #SENCodeOfPractice2015 #OT #PrivateReports #ChildrenAndFamiliesAct2014 #LocalAuthority #RCOT #ECHP #Tribunal #IEPGoals

Neurodivergent Masking, the Environment and Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy has a unique connection to the environment. This is such a large factor in addressing sensory differences, mental health difficulties or barriers to neurodivergent individuals engaging in meaningful occupations. It will impact intervention planning, support strategies and psychoeducation, as what works in school may not be suitable at home, or at horse riding practice. Consider your environment, is it supportive? Does your masking vary not just because of the people you are with but because of what you feel is expected of you within that environment?
Neurodivergent experience of the dentist, Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia.
It can be difficult to sit still if you have ADHD, to accurately brush your teeth with impaired spatial awareness in Dyspraxia or to tolerate sensory differences as an Autistic individual. There are some supportive strategies there are a few useful links at the end of the video. #Autism #Adhd #Dyspraxia #OccupationalBarriers #ADLs #ActivitiesOfDailyLiving #Sensory #Neurodivergent #Dentist #OT #DentalCare #TeethBrushing #Neurodiversity #OccupationalTherapy #OralHealth
Attention spotlight, monotropic thinking, memory.
I have recently edited some of my old visuals. This latest update relates to the attention spotlight as this topic is frequently raised during assessment and can often be confusing for neurotypical family and friends, hopefully, this easy-view visual helps! #autism #monotropism #attentionspotlight #specialinterest #logicalthinker #neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #attention #visuallearner
