Neurodiversity-Affirming Practitioner Recommendations
The below providers are autism and ADHD-affirming practitioners working in Toronto or across Ontario who I’ve known for a long time or have collaborated with personally. I can vouch for their kindness, their knowledge of neurodivergent wellbeing, and their commitment to neurodiversity and inclusion.
