In this reflection on neuroinclusive spaces, Dr. Angelina Miley explores how thoughtful design, intentional communication, and genuine acceptance can transform environments from overwhelming to welcoming. From sensory considerations to intersectionality and the power of peer support, the piece highlights how true inclusion isn’t just about making room for difference - it’s about fostering belonging, authenticity, and thriving for all Neurodivergent people.

At our practice, we celebrate the joy that can come with finding your neurodivergent identity. We recognise the importance of sharing individual stories about how identification can help with self-compassion and discovery. Here we have the unique perspective of an Autistic Occupational Therapist Katie Kerley, who alongside being the Clinical Director of Horizons Therapy Services Ltd in Dundalk is The Adult Autism & ADHD Practice's Consultant Occupational Therapist and one of our main team of trainers on neurodiversity affirmative approaches. Here she discusses her own personal experiences in an extract from our latest book "The Neurodiversity Affirmative Child Autism Assessment Handbook.

To celebrate our new name (The Adult Autism and ADHD Practice) and now offering standalone ADHD assessments / collaborative identifications, our first blog is going to be all about ADHD!
