Wednesday Word of the Week 📚✨

At Able2, our Neurodiversity Dictionary aligns our team with contemporary, neuro-affirming language, ensuring consistent and respectful support across our entire organisation.

Today's Word: HYPOSENSITIVITY
Definition: A deeply insulated nervous system that requires a higher volume of sensory input to process it. A person might not easily notice everyday stimuli (like internal hunger cues or someone calling their name) and may actively seek out strong sensory experiences to feel grounded.

Wednesday Word of the Week 📚✨

At Able2, our Neurodiversity Dictionary aligns our team with contemporary, neuro-affirming language, ensuring consistent and respectful support across our entire organisation.

Today's Word: PDA (PERVASIVE DRIVE FOR AUTONOMY)
Definition: Historically called Pathological Demand Avoidance, this is an intense, anxiety-driven neurodivergent profile characterized by a fundamental need for equality and self-determination. When faced with everyday demands, the nervous system experiences an automatic threat response (fight/flight/freeze). It is an involuntary survival mechanism rooted in a need for safety and autonomy, not purposeful defiance.

Wednesday Word of the Week 📚✨

At Able2, our Neurodiversity Dictionary aligns our team with contemporary, neuro-affirming language, ensuring consistent and respectful support across our entire organisation.

Today's Word: Wellbeing
Definition: A holistic measure of thriving across physical, emotional, social, and economic life. A key takeaway of the neurodiversity movement is recognising that what creates wellbeing for an Autistic or ADHD individual (like quiet spaces, parallel play, and deep hyperfocus) looks entirely different from what creates wellbeing for a neurotypical person!

Congratulations, Emma! We’re so proud to support you and cheer you on. 🥰

Language in the disability sector moves fast - and the words we use every day directly shape how we see, respect, and support the people around us.

That’s why we’ve created our brand-new Neurodiversity Dictionary!

As a team working on the frontlines of support, having a clear, up-to-date, and shared language isn't just nice to have, it's essential for delivering best-practice care. This dictionary bridges the gap between old clinical terms and modern, neuro-affirming concepts, helping us move away from outdated "deficits" and focus on real-world impact, accessibility, and respect.

From understanding concepts like Interoception and Monotropism to honouring preferred terms like Identity-First Language, this tool keeps our team aligned, our documentation respectful, and our spaces inclusive.

We currently have capacity to support new clients!

At Able2, we believe a Behaviour Support Plan shouldn’t just describe behaviour; it should help you truly understand the person. Our approach combines clinical insight with clear language and practical design, making strategies easy to put into practice so support becomes calmer, safer, and more connected.

A good plan honours the person, values their network, and makes a real difference.
