Defining Neurodiversity Affirming Psychology Practice for Autistic Adults: A Delphi Study Integrating Psychologist and Client Perspectives
Flower et al., 2025
This study aimed to define what “neurodiversity affirming” psychology practice means for supporting Autistic adults in Australia. Using expert input from both Autistic adults and psychologists, researchers identified seven key principles of affirming care, including ongoing learning, individualised communication, and genuine acceptance of autism. These findings offer a practical guide for therapists and empower Autistic adults to seek or advocate for respectful, tailored mental health support.
