This is such a prescient line of inquiry. It's been on my mind and heart for a while now! Thank you for naming it, and creating space for this conversation.
I’ve had such similar conversations with friends about this! I also work with neurodiverse kids, I’d say it’s happening at their age too, in some cases. Kids who don’t fit the mould, being diagnosed as if they’re the problem, when they just can’t take the strip lights, one way learning, indoor & sedentary settings, pace and overwhelm of the environments we put them in. To the woods! It’s a complex topic, thanks for opening it up, interested to see what folks have to say.

Roxanne, thank you for sharing this. Yes, I wonder about everything you just named!
