Support For

Neurodiversity

As a parent of an autistic and ADHD child, I know firsthand the challenges neurodivergent individuals and their families face. This inspired me to set up Support For Neurodiversity.

We provide diet, nutrition, and therapeutic support aimed at improving mental wellbeing, behaviour, and sleep issues in neurodivergent individuals.

How we can help

Support For Neurodiversity provides diet, nutrition and therapeutic support to help improve mental wellbeing, behaviour and sleep challenges in neurodivergent individuals.

We offer free, evidence-based resources with practical solutions to improve quality of life and overall wellbeing in neurodivergent individuals and their family members.

We also provide the option to purchase supportive supplements.  And, for those seeking personalised support, the opportunity to book appointments with experts, including registered nutritionists, behavioural specialists, and sensory occupational therapists.
