Listening doesn’t always require eye contact. 💛

For many neurodivergent people, making eye contact can require extra effort and actually make it harder to process what someone is saying. Looking away, moving, or focusing on something else can help reduce competing sensory input and support concentration.

Attention can look different from person to person.

What may look like a distraction can actually be a powerful support. 💛

Sensory tools and supports can help Autistic people regulate their nervous system, maintain focus, and feel more comfortable in their environment.

Rather than taking energy away, the right sensory supports can help conserve and provide the energy needed to engage, learn, communicate and connect.

Empathy doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. 💛

Many Autistic people experience empathy deeply. The difference may be in how that empathy is expressed, communicated or recognised by others.

When we move beyond assumptions about what empathy should look like, we make more room to understand the many different ways people care, connect and respond to one another.

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing a Myth vs Reality series, challenging common misconceptions about neurodivergence and recognising the many ways Neurodivergent people experience and connect with the world.

MYTH 1: AUTISTIC PEOPLE DON'T WANT FRIENDS

Connection can look different, but different does not mean absent. 💛

Many Autistic people deeply value friendship and belonging. Connections often grow through shared passions, similar humour, mutual interests and the joy of exploring a common hyperfocus together.

Functional Capacity Assessments, done the DivergAntz Collective way!

These assessments are one of the most demanded assessments by the NDIA to demonstrate the types of supports YOU require.

WE DO THESE DIFFERENTLY WITH GREAT RESULTS

What we do:

🌿Our Functional Capacity Assessments are completed by MULTIPLE practitioners including Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, and Developmental Educators. EVERY REPORT IS SIGNED OFF BY ALL THESE PRACTITIONERS.

🌿Our Functional Capacity Assessments include OVER 10 different, evidence-based assessment tools. We use many different tools, but have MORE THAN 50 to select from.

🌿Our Functional Capacity Assessments have gone through a bank of lawyers for feedback regarding our methodology. This enhances our capacity to write reports in a way that argues support needs BASED ON NDIS LEGISLATION.

🌿Our process is SO ROBUST that we can offer services via Telehealth or in person WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY.

INTRODUCING TEXT-BASED THERAPY 💬

Therapy with a Registered Mental Health Social Worker, delivered entirely via SMS.
Accessible Australia-wide.

A different way to do therapy - designed around you.

Why choose text-based therapy?
🌼 Move at your pace, no pressure to respond in real time
🌼 Extra sensory-friendly (no video, no audio, just text)
🌼 Reduced social pressure = more space to be yourself
🌼 Easier to express thoughts you might struggle to say out loud
🌼 Ideal for parents/carers who need privacy around little ears
🌼 Great for teens who want more personal space at home
🌼 Accessible for Deaf, non-verbal, or text-preferred communicators
🌼 Same support. Same approach. Just a different format.

SMS Therapy offers the same ND-affirming, therapeutic care as our standard sessions, simply delivered via text instead of video, at the same rate.
