Neurodivergent OTs

Hi everyone,

It's great to find a group supporting ND OT's. 😀 Although not diagnosed myself, my daughter was diagnosed Autistic 2 years ago and so the journey of acknowledging my own (and the whole family's) ND traits and characteristics began!

I'm very much realising that I experience severe task paralysis when I have a lot to do and am feeling overwhelmed, so I'm slowly putting strategies in place, so as not to get to that place. I'm lucky enough to work with a few therapists who also have ND family's so we offload together quite often.

I'm looking forward to being part of a group of OT's who share similar challenges. 😀

Hello,

I am a late diagnosed Neurodiverse OT also with a very Neurospicey family. The difficulties I have faced trying to get the right support for my children and struggling to find it prompted me to start working as an OT privately with both adults, young adults and children who are/ think they are Neurodiverse.

Neurodiversity is my favourite subject and I would love to connect with people who feel the same way.

Hi I'm Dan, neurospicy and late diagnosed,

I'm new to the hub and new here too. I'm a neurodiversity network co-lead in my trust. I'm also a regional EDB contact, and looking to network with other OT's. Looking forward to sharing helpful things and being part of discussions.

Hi, good day everyone! I’m a 1st year Occupational Therapy student, and for one of our OT103 (Foundations of Occupational Therapy 2) tasks, I need to interview an OT who has been practicing for over 5 years. If you have free time and you’re willing, I’d really appreciate the chance to ask a few questions or get your written answers. A screenshot with you (when we zoom/meet online) is also part of the requirement but optional. Thank you so much, and I hope you can be part of this learning activity!

please send me a direct message if you're interested! Thank you so much!
