In a world that often asks neurodiverse individuals to mask or change their natural ways of being, Ayurveda suggests something different: a framework for understanding these differences as expressions of the beautiful diversity of human consciousness. Your child doesn't need to be fixed; they need to be seen, understood, and supported in becoming the fullest expression of their authentic self.

When it comes to supporting neurodiverse children, Ayurveda offers an incredible amount of insight: that a child's sensory sensitivities, hyperfocus, and unique communication style are expressions of their individuality and their gifts. These are gifts that, when properly supported, can become that child's greatest strengths.

Triguna is comprised of the three gunas of sattva, rajas, and tamas. In a sense, these represent aspects of the atomic nature of material substrata.

Neurodiversity matters because neurodiversity is part and parcel to the very Ayurvedic art of seeing each person as the unique individual that they are. There is no right or wrong way of being; there is just the person, their life, their preferences, and their needs.
