Hi, it's Kiri here ????
The world of neurodivergence comes with a growing body of terminology — words and phrases that can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even alienating at first.
You may hear terms like spoons, masking, emotional dysregulation, seekers and avoiders used in conversations, reports, or online spaces, without anyone clearly explaining what they actually mean.
This language exists for a reason.
These terms help describe lived experiences, patterns of regulation, and ways of interacting with the world that don’t always fit neatly into traditional models of behaviour or development.
But without context, they can easily feel inaccessible or unclear.
This webinar is designed to slow things down. It offers clear, practical explanations of commonly used neurodivergent terminology focusing on:
- What these terms mean
- Why they’re used in this space
- How they help create clearer communication and shared understanding in everyday contexts.
