… exploring the diversity of human minds 

How we discuss and perceive mental health and disability has transformed in the last ten years. But what is neurodiversity, and why does it matter?  

This talk is for anyone who is curious, knows someone who is neurodivergent, or is neurodivergent themselves. It aims to equip you with more understanding of Autism, AD(H)D, and the unique challenges and strengths of neurodivergent individuals.  

You will be provided with an understanding of the neurodiversity paradigm, facts, myths and misconceptions of autism and AD(H)D, and discuss practical strategies for navigating university as a neurodivergent person. You'll also hear about how to foster supportive spaces, and understand the value neurodiverse individuals add to our society and why we should appreciate what they bring to the table. 

Mag. Anna Binder-Kita is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Vienna, specialized in working with neurodivergent adults, especially those diagnosed later in life. With nearly a decade of experience, she utilizes Gestalt and sensory-sensitive approaches within a neurodivergent-friendly framework and is giving seminars and teaching throughout Austria. Currently, she is also working on her doctorate regarding increasing accessibility to psychotherapy for autistic adults, with a focus on the double empathy problem. She is dedicated to enabling neurodivergent people to unmask, self-regulate and embrace their strengths and authentic selves.
