Digital Art by Hanlie Wentzel I recently became aware of the concept of the neurodivergent version of “Autistic Anxiety” versus it’s more neurotypical cousin “GAD: Generalised Anxiety Disorder”. Both may present with similar symptoms and look alike in appearance but they come from 2 very different places and therefore need to be understood and supportedContinueContinue reading “Autistic Anxiety”

With Neurodiversity often comes Gender Diversity. Sadly a lot of gender-affirming Christians and parents are met with prejudice, judgements and rejection (or at least conditional acceptance that labels any type of gender-affirming care and transitioning as sinful).
