“Connecting The Dots”: A Prevention and Intervention Methodology Targeting Psychiatric Comorbidities in Neurodiversity

Abstract

Globally crucial capacities of too many brilliant neurodivergent minds are lost through serious mental illness linked to struggle and trauma associated with diversity. While some neurodivergent people become highfliers, at least vocationally, others are incapacitated by psychiatric disorders comorbid with neurodivergence (including Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder, Eating Disorders and drug and gaming addiction), rendering unfathomable cost to individual, family and society. Potential is lost.
