Our Vision
Our core mission is to ensure that lower-income neurodivergent women have equitable access to free diagnosis and coaching therapies during the diagnostic process. We believe that every woman, regardless of her financial situation, deserves the opportunity to understand her neurological differences and receive the support to be their authentic self.
Ultimate Goals
To achieve its vision, DiverseMinds has set “ultimate goals” for the next 10 years:
-
Removing Financial Barriers - We aim to eliminate the financial obstacles that prevent neurodivergent women from accessing diagnosis. By covering the costs of essential services, we strive to ensure that no woman is denied the help she needs due to financial constraints.
-
Training Coaches Based on Professional Expertise - In collaboration with leading professors and experts in the field, we support coaches who are equipped to provide specialized support. Our coaching sessions are designed to ensure that coaches are knowledgeable, empathetic, and effective in assisting neurodivergent women throughout their diagnostic journey and beyond.
-
Raising Awareness and Advocating for Accessible Healthcare System - We work to increase awareness about the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent women in neurodiversity diagnosis and advocate for more accessible healthcare services. By promoting understanding and inclusivity, we provide funding for researches around the country to support researchers on creating a healthcare system that better serves the needs of neurodivergent individuals.
Neurodiversity is the diversity and variety of human thinking and neurocognition. This developmental difference is biologically and psychologically rooted, not a matter of belief or “political correctness.” Neurodivergent individuals are not” anomalous” or a source of shame. Still, part of the natural diversity exists within us as a human species obstacles that neurodivergent individuals face in the day-to-day reflect that the society they live in is not sufficiently diligent enough to provide them with the understanding they deserve. At DiverseMinds, neurodivergent and neurotypical work toward our shared goal to create a social environment that works for everyone.
All women feel social pressures in some form, and being neurodivergent can add to the mountainous external pressure to fit in. This is why DiverseMinds exists. Our aim is to create a discussion about neurodivergence in women by challenging common misconceptions and creating a space for neurodivergent women to be seen! We call it the DiverseMinds Revolution!
