The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD

A neuroaffirming workbook for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD readers—written by neurodivergent psychologists and packed with self-compassion skills to help you embrace who you are, advocate for your needs, and thrive.

As an Autistic, ADHD, or neurodivergent person, you may sometimes feel as if you’re living in a world that wasn’t designed for you. You may experience sensory sensitivities, social difficulties, executive functioning challenges, sleep issues, depression, anxiety, burnout, meltdowns, or trauma from a lifetime of marginalization, masking, and microaggressions.

If you are struggling with your neurodivergent identity, know that you aren’t alone. Whether you were diagnosed as a child, newly diagnosed as an adult, self-identifying, or just beginning to understand your differences, this workbook can help you move beyond the internalized message that there is something wrong with you. With compassionate, practical tools, you’ll learn to honor your needs, reduce self-criticism, and manage stress before it leads to neurodivergent burnout.

The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD offers acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and self-compassion skills tailored to the needs of neurodivergent people—especially those with Autism, ADHD, or both—so you can live more authentically, take pride in your identity, increase overall well-being, and build meaningful connections.

This empowering workbook will help you:

• Acknowledge your needs and become your own advocate
• Unmask safely and express your authentic self
• Reduce sensory overload and balance intense emotions
• Manage rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and social anxiety
• Build meaningful social connections
• Improve executive functioning in ways that work for your neurotype
• Adjust your environment to better fit your needs

Most importantly, you’ll learn to take pride in your identity. Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, newly diagnosed, or still exploring what neurodivergence means to you, this workbook can help you overcome self-critical thinking, advocate for yourself in effective ways, and build practical skills to thrive as your authentic self.
