You are overwhelmed. You’ve been seeking answers to help your loved one, who is also overwhelmed. In fact, “overwhelmed” has come to define many of the challenges you and your loved one face. Doctors, therapists, teachers, and others don’t seem to understand your loved one. They have accumulated diagnoses that don’t fully or accurately describe what you see. Unfortunately, we live in a world that equates speed with success. But what happens when the pace of the mind doesn’t match the speed of society’s expectations? Misunderstood, Misdiagnosed, Mislabeled is a compassionate guidebook for parents and educators facing the unique challenge of helping those with slow-processing speed or other forms of neurodiversity. Imagine your brain like a funnel, where information pours in through the top, but the pace at which it is processed depends on the size of the opening at the bottom. What happens when the flow of information comes in more quickly, or densely that the funnel can manage? This book offers strategies to clean up the mess and ways to prevent the overflow from happening in the first place. Whether you are a parent advocating for your child or a teacher striving to create an understanding learning environment, Misunderstood, Misdiagnosed, Mislabeled offers insight, guidance, and resources garnered over decades of experience. Discover how embracing (and understanding) neurodiversity can open doors of opportunity and cultivate a world where every mind is valued for its distinct intelligence.
