But beneath the surface of those activities lies something even more foundational: the ability to regulate our internal state. Whether you're recovering from a stroke, navigating daily life with ADHD, or processing sensory input differently as an autistic adult, the ability to feel calm, focused, and grounded directly impacts how we think, speak, and connect.

Mental Health & Communication: Supporting Neurodivergent Adults During Mental Health Awareness Month5/12/2025  May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to elevate conversations around emotional well-being, reduce stigma, and advocate for accessible care. For neurodivergent adults, mental health and communication are deeply connected. Whether someone is autistic, has ADHD, a brain injury, or another acquired or developmental condition, the ability to communicate thoughts, needs, and boundaries plays a crucial role in their overall mental wellness.
In this post, we’ll explore how communication challenges can impact mental health in neurodivergent adults—and how targeted speech therapy support can make a meaningful difference.  April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to move beyond awareness and toward real inclusion and understanding. Communication is often framed as a challenge for Autistic people, but in reality, many of the difficulties come from misaligned expectations and environments that don’t accommodate neurodivergent ways of communicating.
