A Neurodivergent-Friendly Resource Guide for Youth – Created by Autumn Meadows 

Finding the resources you need can be an exhausting, confusing, and arduous task, requiring energy you don’t have and demanding efforts you can’t give… believe me, I see you friend! As a peer who has relentlessly navigated the interwebs and countless other avenues for resources, in a desperate attempt to find my own supports, I get it! After battling all sorts of federal, state-wide, and local systems, shedding many tears, and clicking hundreds upon thousands of links in the process, I’ve made this guide, in hopes that YOU won’t have to endure the unnecessary agony of spinning in circles seeking help, as I have. The purpose of this guide is to point you in the right direction, so you can access help in finding the supports/resources that meet your exact need, in a way that is as streamlined as possible. Please know that the goal here is not to be fully comprehensive, but rather, to give you quick and clear information, step by step, that will offer you a general overview of what resources exist and how you can most easily pursue them. You’ve got this friend!
