Neurodiversity Resources

Starting Point
The "Quick Guide to Neurodiversity" introduces St Aidan's Church members to neurodiversity, aiming to foster an inclusive, compassionate environment for individuals with diverse cognitive conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia. It provides guidance on understanding neurodiverse experiences and offers practical steps for creating a supportive and accepting church community.

The "Guide to Autism" serves as an in-depth extension of the "Quick Guide to Neurodiversity," providing church members with a detailed understanding of autism, including communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and common misconceptions. It offers targeted guidance for creating an autism-friendly church environment, building on the principles of inclusion with specific insights and accommodations for autistic individuals.

The "Guide to ADHD" provides a more detailed understanding of ADHD specifically for church members, covering language preferences, common misconceptions, and the unique strengths and challenges faced by individuals with ADHD. Building on general neurodiversity principles, it offers specific strategies for making church environments more accommodating and supportive for those with ADHD.
