Hello.

I’m a neurotypical, 48 y.o. male who has recently started working as a disability support worker.

Some of my clients are on the ASD and ADHD spectrum and I’m here to try and understand autism and ADHD a little better. I have no (known) prior experience living or interacting with non-neurotypical individuals.

Please forgive me if my questions are offensive, that is not my intention, I am still learning. I just want to be the best support worker I can be.
