My first post in ages… I need to get back to it somehow. It filled an outlet. Not an influence-to-the-point-of-getting-paid (but wouldn’t say no?)kind of way but like a mental health sharing/ the social worker in me way. A journal outlet.

Polls show most Americans think young adults today have it harder financially than past generations. A majority of parents help their grown children with expenses, even if it hurts their own finances.

Mental health clinicians say they’ve been inundated with calls from people struggling with eating disorders following the release of Ariana Grande’s “Petal” music video.

Care providers say the wave of online commentary about Grande’s body has left some clients feeling overwhelmed, with experts warning that scrutiny of celebrities’ weight can be particularly damaging for teens.

Grande has not directly addressed the commentary about her health, but said her decision to step back from public life after completing her Eternal Sunshine Tour this summer was not “reactive or impulsive” and came from “a thoughtful and empowered place.”

If you or someone you know is struggling with body image or an eating disorder, call the National Alliance for Eating Disorders free helpline at 1-866-662-1235 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

Neurodivergence is an umbrella term that refers to natural differences in how brains process information, think, learn, communicate, and experience the world.

While autism is one form of neurodivergence, it is not the only one.

Neurodivergence can include a wide range of conditions and differences, such as:

🎈 ADHD, which can affect attention regulation, executive functioning, and impulse control
🎈 Dyslexia, which can impact reading, writing, and language processing
🎈 Dyscalculia, which affects number sense and mathematical reasoning
🎈 Dyspraxia, which can influence coordination, motor planning, and organization
🎈 Tourette Syndrome, which involves involuntary movements or vocal tics
🎈 Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
🎈 Auditory processing differences, which affect how sound and spoken language are interpreted
🎈 Sensory processing differences, which can make sensory input feel intensified or dulled
🎈 Nonverbal learning differences, which can impact spatial, social, and visual processing
🎈Anxiety Disorders
🎈Depressive Disorders

Neurodivergence is a broad spectrum of ways the brain can function differently from what is typically expected.

Understanding neurodivergence as a spectrum helps reduce stereotypes and allows for more accurate, compassionate, and individualized support.

At Blue Sky Learning, our neurodiversity-affirming therapists and coaches support individuals across the neurodivergent spectrum in understanding their brains, reducing shame, and building strategies that actually fit how they function.
