Amber practises line with the neurodiversity-affirming (NDA) paradigm. The NDA paradigm asserts that an Autistic neurotype or ADHD is not disordered. Instead, it is the neurotypical environment and systems in which neurodivergent people are expected to live that lead to ‘disordered’ behaviour. Amber’s practice aligns with these views and will support you and your family with positive and NDA regard.
