Resources for Family, Friends & Allies
Do you want to better understand and support the neurodivergent people in your life?
Neurodiversity is a beautiful and varied way of experiencing the world, and by learning more, you can build stronger, more empathetic relationships.
​
Neurodivergence encompasses more than just ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder; it includes conditions like Tourette's, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia, among others.
Each person's experience is unique, and understanding this diversity is key to providing meaningful support.
​
NeuMinKind is here to help you on your journey towards becoming a better ally.
We believe in challenging misconceptions and fostering a deeper appreciation for the strengths and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.
​
By learning how to create supportive environments and communicate effectively, you can make a real difference in the lives of your friends, family, and loved ones.
This not only strengthens your relationships but also enriches your own understanding of the world.
​
Explore our carefully selected resources (including Facebook groups, websites, and blogs) below to deepen your knowledge and build your skills as an ally.
​
This is not a comprehensive list, just a selection.
