With increased chatter about Neurodivergence on the internet and in the media it`s normal to wonder if some of the parts of you are an indicator of something larger at play.
Neurodivergent, quirky, high-strung, one or none of the above- humans are unique and diverse, no two brains are alike. We recognize and celebrate that.

Autism is not a single experience – it is a broad spectrum of neurological differences in how people communicate, learn, and connect.
At Mansfield Hall, we focus on strengths, self-understanding, and supportive community.
