For many neurodivergent girls, the story doesn’t start with a diagnosis, it starts with years of being explained in ways that only partially capture what’s going on. ⁣

It’s human to feel sensitive to rejection, we all care about belonging.⁣

But for some people, that sensitivity runs deeper. Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) can amplify social pain, sometimes even creating the feeling of rejection when it’s unclear or not actually happening.⁣

The thing I find most powerful about self-compassion is that it is MOST useful when we are at our lowest. When we learn to be kind to ourselves in the face of our own humanity- it's a beautiful thing. I wish someone had shown me this was possible as a teen.

✨ Wired & Worthy: Self-Compassion Cards for Neurodivergent Teen Girls ✨⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A set of 24 illustrated digital cards for those moments when self-criticism is loud, everything feels like too much, or you just need something a bit softer to come back to yourself.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Each card has a gentle reminder on the front, and a simple self-compassion exercise on the back — nothing complicated, nothing you can do “wrong”, just small ways to pause, notice, and be a bit kinder to yourself.⁣⁣

If you’re a therapist, there’s a good chance you’ve worked with an undiagnosed autistic girl, without realising it.⁣

Many clinicians later reflect, “I wish I’d known what to look for.”⁣

That’s because autism doesn’t always present in the ways we were taught. Especially in girls who mask, the signs can be subtle, easily missed, or understood through other lenses.⁣

School refusal isn’t about defiance, it’s often about capacity.⁣

For many neurodivergent kids, it’s not that they won’t go to school… it’s that they genuinely can’t when the environment feels overwhelming, unsafe, or unsustainable.⁣

If we keep viewing it as behaviour, we miss what they’re trying to communicate.⁣

Sitting in a classroom without support isn’t inclusion.⁣

Sadly, this has been a recurring theme in therapy this week, kids doing their best in environments that aren’t meeting them where they are.⁣

Support shouldn’t be a battle.⁣
