Helping neurodivergent people thrive - and changing the world around them.

Have you heard the term RSD and felt a flicker of recognition — or found yourself wondering whether what you're experiencing goes deeper than the social media explanations suggest?

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria gets a lot of airtime in the neurodiversity community right now, and for good reason. The emotional pain of feeling criticised or rejected — whether real or perceived — can be overwhelming. But the way it's often talked about online leaves a lot out, and that gap matters.

In this guest webinar with Dr Tom Nicholson, Assistant Professor of Mental Health Nursing and neurodiversity specialist, we dig into what the evidence actually says about RSD. We'll look at why framing it purely as an ADHD trait misses how it connects to early life trauma, attachment, and emotional dysregulation more broadly — and why getting that wrong has real consequences, both for how we understand ourselves and how practitioners approach support.

We'll explore how to tell the difference between everyday rejection sensitivity and something deeper, and what genuinely helps — whether you're navigating this yourself, supporting a family member, or working with neurodivergent clients in a professional setting.

You'll leave with a clearer, more honest picture of RSD: where it comes from, what it isn't, and what actually makes a difference.

Sensory differences are common for neurodivergent people, particularly for autistic, ADHDers, AuDHDers. Neurodivergent people can be both over-responsive (hyper-sensitive, or have aversions) and under-responsive (hypo-sensitive or sensory seeking) for each type of sensory input. 

If you understand your own sensory differences and preferences, you can consider how you can use sensory strategies to increase or decrease your arousal, working towards ‘just right’ arousal. You can create a Sensory Grab Bag which contains all of these sensory strategies, so they are available when you need them. 

In this workbook we will discuss how you can use your eight senses to regulate yourself. We will go through each sensory domain and consider different strategies you might like to try to increase or decrease your arousal levels. You can then add these strategies into your Grab Bag. Why not try similar strategies with your child, too?

Do you ever feel like parenting asks you to do things in exactly the ways that are hardest for you — and nobody around you quite understands why?

This webinar is for neurodivergent parents who want to feel less alone in that experience. Parenting while neurodivergent is genuinely different, and those differences deserve to be named honestly — the extra challenges, yes, but also the real strengths and perspectives that neurodivergent parents bring to their families.

We'll explore how neurodivergent traits interact with the parenting role, and why certain aspects of it can take so much more out of us. We'll also look at what happens when you're a neurodivergent parent raising a neurodivergent child — what we call the "triple whammy" — and how the needs in a family can sometimes pull in different directions, even while complementing each other in ways that aren't always obvious.

Led by Dr Jo Mueller and Dr Lauren Breese, clinical psychologists and parents themselves, this is a space to feel seen, ask questions, and pick up practical tools you can use straight away — all in an environment designed to be genuinely accessible, calm, and free of any pressure to show up in a particular way.

Looking for ongoing support? This resource (and all others) is included with unlimited access as part of The Neurodivergent Parent Space, our psychology-led community for neurodivergent parents, with monthly webinars, practical resources, expert guidance, and a supportive community.

Are you a woman — or AFAB — who has spent years feeling like you've had to work twice as hard, mask twice as much, and still somehow fly under the radar?

Whether you're exploring your own neurodivergence, making sense of a late diagnosis, or supporting women who've long been overlooked, this talk is for you.

Until 2013, it wasn't even possible to receive a formal diagnosis of both autism and ADHD at the same time — despite research now suggesting they co-occur in up to 80% of cases. Add to that a diagnostic history built almost entirely on male presentations, and it becomes clear why so many women have gone unrecognised for so long.

In this talk with Dr Lauren Breese, Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience working with neurodivergent people, we'll look at the history behind that gap — why it exists, how it developed, and what it means for women seeking answers today. We'll also explore what AuDHD actually looks like in women: the patterns across attention, executive functioning, sensory processing, social interaction, and emotional regulation that often get missed or misread.

You'll come away with a clearer picture of how ADHD and autism can show up together in women, and a better understanding of why so many have gone without support for so long — whether you're piecing together your own story or trying to better support someone else.
