Neurodivergence is not predictable or linear. We know this. We live this. So why does the system continue to behave as if it doesn’t?

For neurodivergent kids, in particular, screens can be a lifeline. They offer predictable routines, accessible learning formats, a space to explore special interests, and even a safe social outlet. In a world that often feels too much, screens can give their nervous system a break without taking away their curiosity or creativity.

Neuro-affirming language is a way of speaking with and about neurodivergent people that’s rooted in respect, compassion, and acceptance.
