Description
Life is hard even without unidentified neurodivergence, and you are not alone if you'd spent years wondering why everything was so hard before realising you're neurodivergent. That knowledge may come as a relief, but you may feel just as lost trying to navigate a predominantly neurotypical world. In my work as a psychologist, I find that support and resources for late-identified neurodivergent adults are scarce in comparison to those for children and parents. Therefore, this workbook-guide is specially created for late-identified autistic adults and/or adults with ADHD.
Written in a relaxed, easy-to-read tone, this neuro-affirming book combines research findings and clinical experience to help you better understand not only neurodivergence in general, but also what your late-identification of neurodivergence means to you. It offers concrete strategies to support you in building a healthier self-view and relationships with those around you. Healthy relationships with self and others help us build a more sustainable way of living and preventing neurodivergent burnout.
In each chapter, you'll come across questions and activities that can be used for guided introspective reflections. There are plenty of engaging infographics explaining key concepts (in vibrant, full premium-colour!), which cater to the ways that many neurodivergent people process information. Also included are practical tools and strategies to support you with navigating the day-to-day of being a late-identified neurodivergent adult. This book draws on a range of evidence-based psychotherapy models, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
This will also be a fantastic resource for any neuro-affirming mental health practitioners who are working with neurodivergent clients. For bulk orders, please contact info@jasmineloopsychology.com
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"Navigating a conversation in a foreign language is tough. Navigating a strange city without a map is tough. Navigating a (largely) neurotypical world is also really tough, especially when you don't speak the language or have the map. If you are a late-identified neurodivergent adult, or even a family member or friend of a late-identified neurodivergent adult, then Nurturing Neurodivergence is the guidebook that you need. Drawing on a wealth of lived experience, clinical training and knowledge, and research literature, Jasmine Loo has created a practical resource to help guide you in understanding your neurodivergence; navigating the complexities of relationships with others; and most importantly, with yourself.
