CPHWT https://padlet.com/CPHWT/g858dqfyf5x1fs11/wish/3783262515 Sometimes, being neurodivergent or having a physical health condition can make young people feel different from their peers. This can lead them to think negatively about themselves and develop low self-esteem. Seeing well-known people with similar conditions, and hearing about their experiences, can help young people feel seen and understood. Learning about these individuals’ achievements can also empower young people to believe that they can also do great things in life and are not limited by their conditions.
