Neurodiversity

As a parent of an autistic ADHD child, I understand how challenging life can be for neurodivergent individuals as well as their families. 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.
