Did you know that Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills can be useful for Autistic and ADHD individuals too? As neurodivergent individuals, we often experience different types of distress from living in a society that isn't designed for our differences. It isn't just emotional distress but also meltdowns and sensory distress that we experience too. One of the best things we can do to support ourselves is manage our needs and respond to our distress in a way that works for us.

Eric Garcia: http://www.ericmgarcia.net/– Eric is an Autistic Latino journalist based in Washington, DC who recently wrote the book We’re Not Broken.

This is where Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills come in! Unfortunately, DBT skills aren't always accessible, straight-forward or neurodivergent friendly. That's why this workbook of DBT skills has been reframed to be neurodivergent affirming while incorporating sensory strategies, managing meltdowns, stimming and more. Written and designed by an autistic ADHDer, you can learn skills and tool using the five sections: Everyday Well-being Mindfulness Distress Tolerance Emotional Regulation Sensory Needs
