There is a growing body of research affirming the strong correlation between neurodivergence—particularly ADHD and autism—and LGBTQIA+ identities. This engaging and thought-provoking webinar will explore the concept of neuroqueer identity and the complex ways in which gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence intersect. We’ll unpack how socio-political pressures often lead to chronic masking, identity fatigue, and heightened burnout—and how these forces shape an individual’s sense of belonging. Join us to better understand the unique support needs of queer and gender-diverse neurodivergent individuals and explore pathways to authenticity and inclusion.
