Neuroaffirming care takes into account a person's neurodivergence, and how their brain functions differently from the neurotypical norm; it celebrates those differences while still respecting struggles and providing assistance.

It takes into account how different brains work, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. It views neurodivergences such as autism, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and anxiety as having both strengths and struggles, not just deficits.
