Supporting Neurodivergent Minds: The STILL Method Way

In the UK today, approximately 1 in 7 people (over 15%) are neurodivergent. This isn't just a statistic – it represents real people with unique ways of experiencing the world and managing anxiety.

Understanding the Connection

Recent studies from Queen Mary University of London highlight the importance of moving beyond labels to understand the specific mental health needs of neurodivergent individuals. This aligns perfectly with The STILL Method's personalised approach to anxiety support.

Why Traditional Approaches Need Rethinking

The latest diagnostic figures in the UK show that:

  • Approximately 3% of people have ADHD

  • 1-2% of the population is autistic

  • Many remain undiagnosed or are on waiting lists for assessment

The STILL Method: A Practical Response

What makes our approach different isn't based on assumptions, but on real experience working with diverse minds. We focus on:

  • Creating structured support that adapts to individual needs

  • Providing practical tools that work in real-life situations

  • Understanding that anxiety presents differently in neurodivergent individuals

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All

Recent research emphasises the importance of adaptable approaches in supporting neurodivergent individuals with anxiety. The STILL Method recognises this through:

  • Customisable strategies

  • Clear, structured support

  • Practical, real-world applications

Moving Forward Together

While research continues to evolve in understanding neurodiversity and anxiety, what remains constant is the need for practical, accessible support that respects individual differences.
