The Neurodivergence Checklist: EXISLE PUBLISHING

Being neurodivergent in a world built for neurotypical minds can feel like living in a foreign country and not knowing the local language.

The Neurodivergence Checklist offers a warm, practical and affirming map for ADHD and Autistic adults; not a tool for assessment or diagnosis, but a strengths-based guide to building on what you do well, finding support, and managing the challenges that come your way.

Experienced clinicians Dr Cate Howell and Dr Michele Murphy bring together decades of practice, lived and family experience, and current neuro-affirming thinking. At the heart of the book is their Connect Model and its '10 Cs' - Choice, Care, Capacity, Calm, Communicate, Connect, Challenge, Centre, Create and Celebrate - a set of interlinked, practical ideas grounded in Self-Determination Theory.

Each chapter explores one of the 10 Cs, blending accessible explanations with reflective prompts and practical checklists you can return to again and again. Written with compassion, curiosity and kindness, The Neurodivergence Checklist is a supportive companion for neurodivergent readers, their families and friends, and the health professionals who work alongside them - and an invitation to cultivate a life that genuinely fits who you are.
