There is a clinic that advertises being neurodiversity affirming.
Тей стой графікс аз на атистик психологіст.
And a lot of my copy from my website, which is all very affirming.
And then I looked at their other blog posts and it's like ASD, but it's like, you're advertising.
as neurodivergent affirming, stealing from creators.
So that would be the worst case.
But there's a lot of people that are just slapping the language on of we're neurodivergent affirming.
And you go deeper and it's like, no, you have you have no idea what this framework actually is.
And then it's like deceptive 'cause it's bringing people in and that's what like obviously my my arousal
My energy just went up because that's what makes me really angry is when people are using it as a marketing strategy and aren't understanding what it actually means to be neurodivergent, affirming in their clinical work.
I've talked about this kind of from the beginning of my discovery because that that was why I started Neurodivergent Insights.
I was like, How do I have a doctorate?
And I'm just learning this about my kid and myself.
We talk about confirmation bias a lot in psychology, which is that like when we have a theory in mind, our mind naturally looks for data to support that theory.
And sometimes I think as mental health professionals we forget we have co like confirmation bias and as a field we do.
One thing I see a lot across the board, we've done a lot of really fantastic work in trauma in the last twenty years.
That work is so needed and so meaningful and it's helped so many people heal.
However, it's become a little bit of a confirmation bias.
We are primed to see trauma.
So if we're seeing someone with attachment stuff, someone with sensory stuff, someone who intimacy is uncomfortable for them, a lot of these things will get interpreted as trauma.
