Where Neurodivergence and Gender Diversity Intersect
About This Training
-
Autistic and ADHD people are significantly more likely to be gender diverse or queer, yet few providers are trained to support this intersection. Neuroqueer individuals often face compounding stressors, from navigating sensory needs alongside body dysphoria to encountering barriers in accessing gender-affirming care. This training offers a clearer understanding of these overlapping identities and why they matter in clinical practice.
Drawing on clinical experience, research, and lived experience, Dr. Neff and Rebecca Minor introduce the neurodiversity paradigm and neuroqueer theory as frameworks for affirming, integrated identity. You'll gain insight into the unique challenges neuroqueer individuals face and leave with practical strategies for supporting them across identity, sensory, and executive functioning needs.
