Supporting neurodivergent young people in the holidays

Overwhelm at the loss of structure and changing routine. Worry about the future. Burnout from a busy term. Excitement and relief - school's out for summer!

Neurodivergent young people might feel all or none of these emotions. They might also be feeling:

• lost or purposeless without the structure and orientation of school and academia
• dysregulation amid sensory changes or overwhelming stimuli.
• anxious thoughts and behaviour, or feeling ‘stuck’.
• withdrawal or ‘shutdown’.
• excessive energy or overstimulation.
