04/28/23 • 39 min
As a parent of a neurodiverse child myself, I know how important communication is to sharing spaces with someone who may think or process things differently than what is usually seen as the norm.
Thanks to Alex Leech, she's here to share some tips on what has worked for herself , her clients and her own family when it comes to sharing spaces with neurodiverse individuals.
For over 20 years she has worked in the field of Health Sciences as a Regulated Health Professional and has spent countless hours reading, researching & studying the integral relationship between neuroscience, mental health, and how it applies to all aspects of life. She is a parent of 2 amazing autistic teens , each with multiple diagnoses and through their assessment process, discovered she too was neurodivergent.
