By focusing on deficits, have you missed the opportunity to identify, appreciate, and incorporate the strengths of your neurodivergent clients in your therapeutic work?

Have your clients experienced an erosion of trust in the therapeutic relationship, as the result of being told that their traits were "wrong"?

Have you assessed for the degree to which pathologizing interventions have led to internalized ableism,       shame, and a fractured sense of identity within your client(s)?

Are you focusing on ND traits instead of evaluating the impacts of societal barriers, lack of accommodations, and ableism?

Are you encouraging compliance of NT traits and erasing outwards signs of ND (ie forcing eye contact, discouraging SPINs, etc) rather than promoting autonomy + acceptance?

Are you encouraging ND traits to be "corrected" (ie stimming, hyperfocus, sensory sensitivities, etc) versus recognizing these traits as unique differences?
