The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD: Cultivate Self-Compassion, Live Authentically, and Be Your Own Advocate (The Social Justice Handbook Series)


Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“With practical, accessible, neurodiversity-affirming skills for neurodivergent people, this workbook is so needed within a prescriptive nonfiction industry that so often overlooks us.” 
—Devon Price, author of Unmasking Autism

“This is the right book at the right time. Both Monique and Jennifer have a deep understanding of the challenges that neurodivergent people face in our community, but also a broad knowledge of strategies that work to cope with the challenges. I can highly recommend this book to assist neurodivergent people to thrive, but also to all those who live, love, and work with them.” 
—Michelle Garnett, PhD, Psych, clinical psychologist; and founder and director of Attwood & Garnett Events, AuDHD

“Like a warm hug and as if entering a dimly lit, quiet room after hours of overstimulation, this book is a heart-warming sigh of relief. As a neurodivergent person, I found myself crying of joy and gratitude for being seen so deeply while reading it. Like a kind friend or the sweetest pet, this book can serve as a loving companion to all who read it.”
—Janina Scarlet, PhD, author of Superhero Therapy

“This book will make you work, it will make you think, and at times it might even make you cry—but mostly it will make you wish you had read it a decade ago. A great gift for all the neurodivergent people you care about (and especially for yourself).”
—Sandra Thom-Jones, PhD, honorary professor at University of Wollongong, principal of www.autisticprofessor.com, and author of Growing into Autism

“This book provides clear, compassionate, and practical advice for anyone wanting to understand, accommodate, and embrace their neurodivergence. I’ve met so many people who have been given a diagnosis, but no real support to work out what their needs are or how they can improve their mental health. This book fills that gap, a must-read for anyone newly diagnosed.
—Alice Nicholls, DClinPsy, Autistic clinical psychologist specializing in Autistic burnout, and creator of the Autistic Burnout Recovery Programme

“Unputdownable. I started reading this and kept going, and I bet you do too. A well-paced read for anyone who wants to understand neurodivergence in adults. This book is a science-backed way for ADHDers and Autistic people to build their strengths, manage their challenges, and, above all, accept themselves. Packed with information and practical strategies.”
—Louise Hayes, PhD, clinical psychologist; founder of DNA-V; and coauthor of What Makes You Stronger, Get Out of Your Mind and into Your Life for Teens, Your Life Your Way, and The Thriving Adolescent

“Discovering you’re neurodivergent as an adult can often bring more questions than answers. Unfortunately, invalidation, misinformation, and unhelpful responses from your nearest and dearest are all too common. Jennifer and Monique—both late-identified neurodivergent themselves—throughout
The Neurodivergence Skills Workbook for Autism and ADHD offer you much-needed compassion, companionship, clarity, guidance, and skills to navigate this process of better understanding and supporting your unique and beautiful neurodivergent self.”
—Aisling Leonard-Curtin, MSc, ADHDer; senior psychologist at ADHD Ireland; codirector of Act Now Purposeful Living; and coauthor of the number one best seller, The Power of Small
