Neurodiversity is the idea that brain differences are natural and valuable. Many ADHD women grew up hearing only deficit-based explanations.
Flourish reframes ADHD as a valid neurotype.
Why Neurodiversity Matters
It explains why you think differently, feel intensely, mask, burn out, or struggle with environments that do not match your brain. Neurodiversity provides context instead of blame.
What This Looks Like
Overwhelm makes sense.
Shutdown makes sense.
RSD makes sense.
Sensory differences make sense.
Executive functioning needs make sense.
Your patterns become understandable.
What Helps
1. Identify harmful expectations
School, work, gender norms, family roles.
2. Replace deficit language
“Executive functioning needs” instead of “disorganized.”
“Sensory overwhelm” instead of “too sensitive.”
3. Build identity with space
Identity repair happens slowly and steadily.
