LGBTQ+
Does Neurodiversity intersect with the LGBTQ+ community?
It is our duty as providers to understand that the community we serve may be a part of more than one identity. This is the case with many individuals who are both Nerodiverse and a part of the LGBTQ+ community. It is important to recognize the challenges and opportunities these intersecting identities can bring to a person.
Note:
*We want to provide you with a comprehensive list of resources. The more tools you have as a primary care giver the better experience your child will have.
We in no way are affiliating ourselves with these organizations or their actions. We can not guarantee that they will be a fit for your needs as every situation is different. To work with these organizations you will have to contact them individually.
