It's not school refusal and it's not school avoidance. Neither of these terms accurately reflect what is happening. Neurodivergent children have to endure school envuronments that do them harm. It is educational trauma. They are not avoiding or refusing school. They are protecting themselves.
Why not check out my new community space NeuroHub to connect with other neurodivergent people and collaboratively explore neurodiversity?
Don’t forget my live podcast tomorrow (Wednesday 26th November) where we will be having a frank and open conversation about substance use and neurodivergence.
