Today’s episode discusses malpractice in neurodivergent coaching, drawing parallels to physical harm in sports to illustrate the subtlety yet profound impact of linguistic and emotional misguidance. It asserts that misinterpreting gestalt language processing (GLP) as a deficit or trauma instead of a natural communication style constitutes “linguistic malpractice,” leading to identity confusion and self-mistrust among neurodivergent individuals. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks critiques the “brand-first, understanding later” approach prevalent in online coaching spaces, where superficial credentials and viral content often overshadow genuine, evidence-based knowledge of diverse communication patterns like GLP. She advocates for ethical coaching rooted in deep study and respect for individual differences, emphasising that true support involves understanding and affirming a person’s unique linguistic operating system rather than forcing them into standardized frameworks.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/misunderstood-on-purpose-when-coachingLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
