The traditional approach to mental health practice has often been based on a deficit model when working with neurodivergent individuals. However, the neurodiversity movement is challenging this perspective, empowering neurodivergent clients to embrace their unique neurological differences rather than viewing them as deficits that need to be "fixed." This course aims to provide mental health professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to adopt a neurodiversity-affirming approach in their practice. 1.25 Continuing Education Hours earned for completion of this course.

This course explores the nuanced experiences of neurodivergent clients related to masking, identity development, and burnout. Mental health professionals will gain a deeper understanding of the psychological and emotional toll of masking behaviors, which are often used by neurodivergent individuals to navigate neurotypical expectations. Participants will examine how sustained masking contributes to identity diffusion, misdiagnosis, and neurodivergent burnout—an experience distinct from general burnout and shaped by unique sensory, social, and emotional demands. The course provides practical clinical strategies to support clients in unmasking safely, fostering self-understanding, and promoting authentic self-expression within and beyond the therapeutic relationship.
