A year ago, I put a call out to the wider community of neurodivergent families and individuals asking for you to share your tips for surviving when in crisis and/or burnout.

I was tired of hearing inaccessible and unsolicited advice dished out to families and individuals on how to care for ourselves such as going for a walk, drinking tea or meditating when many of us were not able to use the toilet alone let alone go for a walk or make a cup of tea at all.

We've now gone ahead and put your collective wisdom into a free guide - our gift to you.

A HUGE thanks as always to my amazing friend and admin/support extraordinaire Kristy T for collating all of the responses, and putting this guide together.

Once you follow the link and enter your details, you'll receive an email with the download to your inbox. You'll also be subscribed to our mailing list, and you are always free to unsubscribe.

A surge of professional and personal interest in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), an autism subtype — which in children can affect everything from cleaning teeth to attending school — has led to Australia's first-ever PDA conference, to be held in Perth in November.

I love being outdoors in the sunshine surrounded by plants, trees, and all things nature. However, sometimes, especially during winter, it's not possible to spend much time outdoors. Lucky for me, an extremely generous extended family member (with a very green thumb) has gifted me some lovely indoor pot plants. They are now helping to bring some freshness and calm into the Seen and Heard Psychology clinic!
