Neurodivergent-designed and neurodivergent-led peer support in school: A feasibility and acceptability study of the neurodivergent peer support toolkit (NEST)

Catherine J Crompton, Francesca Fotheringham, Katie Cebula et al. · 1 Jan 2024

Most neurodivergent students attend mainstream schools; however, it can be difficult to make and keep friends, and it is common for neurodivergent people to feel excluded at school. Neurodivergent peer support is the idea that young neurodivergent people spend time together, which provides the opportunity to spend time with like-minded others as well as to…

‘Beyond the Stereotype’: Neurodivergent Students’ Experience and Peer and Teacher Understanding of Neurodiversity in a Mainstream Girls’ School

Victoria Milner, Ladan Mohamed, Francesca Happé · 17 Apr 2025

Neurodivergent students often report lower satisfaction at school, lower levels of peer and teacher acceptance and understanding, and poorer wellbeing. This study aimed to explore the experiences of neurodivergent students, specifically autistic and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder students, in a mainstream, academically selective, girls’ school. Peer and teacher understanding of and views towards neurodiversity were measured. All…

A trans-diagnostic investigation of attention, hyper-focus, and monotropism in autism, attention dysregulation hyperactivity development, and the general population

Patrick Dwyer, Zachary J. Williams, Wenn Lawson et al. · 1 Jan 2024

The monotropism hypothesis posits that hyper-focus on interests is core to autistic cognition; moreover, hyper-focus is common in attention dysregulation hyperactivity development (ADHD). However, ADHD is partly defined by susceptibility to distraction, and research has found evidence of attention capture in autism. We investigated hyper-focus in autism and ADHD, its relationship to inattention, and whether…

Autistic well-being: A scoping review of scientific studies from a neurodiversity-affirmative perspective

Palwasha Najeeb, Lisa Quadt · 1 Jan 2024

Background Historically, autism research has focused on the overrepresentation of physical and mental health problems and decreased psychological well-being in autistic people without intellectual impairment. There is a paucity of studies emphasizing what positively contributes to the well-being of autistic people. In line with a recent shift toward investigating autistic health more comprehensively, we conducted…

Learning About Neurodiversity at School: A feasibility study of a new classroom programme for mainstream primary schools

Alyssa M. Alcorn, Sarah McGeown, William Mandy et al. · 1 Jan 2024

Neurodivergent children educated in mainstream classrooms too often face poor outcomes compared to neurotypical peers. These may be caused, or exacerbated, by the negative attitudes and actions of classmates. One way to address these poor outcomes could be to educate all children about neurodiversity and neurodivergence, and how these differences manifest in school. The LEANS…
