Neurodivergent people face many unique challenges in their lives, such as social difficulties, sensory sensitivities, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, and trauma from a lifetime of marginalization and microaggressions. This workbook, written by two neurodivergent psychologists, offers acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and self-compassion skills, tailored to the needs of neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD and Autism, so they can live authentically, take pride in their identity, boost their well-being, and create meaningful relationships.

This empowering work provides self-compassion skills to help you embrace who you are and thrive. If you are autistic or a neurodivergent person with ADHD, you may sometimes feel like you are living in a world that is not designed for you. You might experience sensory sensitivities, social difficulties, executive functioning issues, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, burnout, and meltdowns, as well as trauma from a lifetime of marginalization and microaggressions.

If you're struggling with your neurodivergent identity, know that you are not alone. Whether you were diagnosed as a child or are just discovering your differences now, this tool can help you overcome the internalized message that something is wrong with you, so you can embrace who you truly are and manage anxiety before it leads to burnout.
