The text is clear and direct, and each card is illustrated to assist with communication and shared understanding. The ND me cards were designed by a neurodivergent psychologist, to enable exploration of autism and ADHD traits and characteristics to be tailored to each individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eWHO IS IT FOR?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThe ND me cards help individuals to build a positive sense of neurodivergent (ND) identity, and to overcome negative self-beliefs (e.g. “There is something wrong with me.”). After using the cards,  autistic and ADHD individuals feel seen and understood, and know that they are not alone. The cards help others (family, friends, support providers) to understand what it’s like to be neurodivergent, and how to support the ND people in their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eND me can be used with all ages (as a clinical psychologist, the youngest age I have used them with is eight). They can be used by adults, parents and families, therapists, assessors, teachers, and anyone who wants to better understand and support the neurodivergent people in their lives. They are a great tool for classrooms, workplaces and other settings within the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eHOW DO I USE IT?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIn a therapy setting, the ND me cards can be used to screen for and explore neurodivergent traits, to build rapport and communication, and to improve self-understanding and self-awareness. I often spread them out on the floor and ask the client to choose the ones most relevant to them, or to create a 'yes' and 'no' pile. Chosen cards can then be explored and discussed using a neurodiversity-affirming approach. ND me is ideal for helping parents and family members to understand the lived experience of their loved one and can lead to many ‘aha!’ moments and changes in family dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eFor families, the ND me cards can be used to increase understanding of what autism means for a child, parent, or spouse. They can be used as described above, or in any other creative way you choose! Exploring how each person is similar yet different often leads to connection and some humorous moments, but also aids understanding of challenges and required supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eFor schools, the ND me cards can be used to educate at the classroom or whole-of-school level, while also providing valuable insights into individual students, their strengths, interests, and support needs. Use them to develop individual learning plans that are truly tailored to each student. They also provide amazing conversation and reflection points for staff development days, enhancing shared understanding and consistency of autism and ADHD supports provided throughout the school environment, and helping parents to feel that your school understands their child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"I honestly could not recommend these enough as a wonderful conversation starter.... my 9 year old and I had an amazing time exploring these cards, connecting and identifying some of our challenges and strengths and discussing them.

The advice from other teens with ADHD alongside the engaging art work means this is an accessible read for all. This isn't just for teens though, parents and school staff need to make sure they have a copy too! -- Dr Joanne Steer, clinical psychologist \u0026amp; author of My Unique ADHD World Being a teenager can be tricky enough, but add a touch of ADHD and navigating school and home can become a real roller coaster. Fear not! Soli Lazarus's latest addition to her ADHD Guides is a real blast of positivity and encouragement .The Guide uses the voices of other teens to highlight the areas of challenge and then adds some thoughts on solutions that might help. The Guide is delivered in a well organised and easy to read format. . Quotes from teenagers like Callum ( 19) \"If teachers give me what I need, it is an acceptance of who I am.\" ensure the guide stays on topic and zooms in on some of the most commonly experienced areas of frustration. This is not an easy time for you, there are so many things to navigate - but you can get through - and Soli's Teen survival guide offers some really great tips and tricks to help. -- Valerie Ivens, ADHD Teen Coach, Consultant and Advocate I absolutely love this book and wish I had it when I was a teenager.
