Adelle is an AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD) clinical psychologist. Like many neurodivergent health professionals, Adelle had no idea that she was AuDHD until after both of her children were diagnosed. In her private practice, Adelle provides diagnostic assessments, and has worked therapeutically with Autistic and ADHD clients of all ages. The lack of affirming therapy resources suited to this client group (and age range) prompted her to develop a number of card decks, from which her second business, NeurodivergentAlly, evolved. Based on a mixture of lived and clinical experience, Adelle’s card decks Spoon Thieves, Spoon Savers, and ND me help AuDHDers of all ages to feel understood. They are fantastic for exploring Autistic and ADHD brains, and figuring out what drains (and replenishes) our energy or “spoons”. The Spoons @ School decks are especially helpful for bringing parents and teachers onto the same page around goals and supports. You can get to know Adelle via social media (find her content at “neurodivergent_ally“).
