Description

A Practical Guide to Neurodivergence in Family Law is a groundbreaking, must have resource for every family law practitioner. Written by a neurodivergent barrister with autism and ADHD, it offers a uniquely informed, insider perspective that bridges the gap between legal practice and lived experience. The book demystifies what neurodivergence is, and crucially, what it isn't. This book brings clarity to an area that is often misunderstood within the family courts. Designed as an SOS guide for busy professionals, it provides accessible and actionable guidance that can be applied immediately.
Drawing everything into one practical, easy-to-use place, the book moves from foundational understanding to applied practice. Beginning with the author's personal journey, used as a case study to illustrate how neurodivergence can manifest from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood, it offers an honest account of the real-life challenges, misunderstandings, and barriers faced by individuals living with ADHD and autism. It then explores the meaning and scope of neurodivergence before dedicating focused chapters to ADHD and autism. Further chapters examine intersectionality, the relevant legal frameworks and duties, barriers to participation, and best practice when representing neurodivergent clients. The final chapters provide detailed insight into how neurodivergence affects both public law and private law proceedings. Each chapter contains practitioner checklists, step-by-step tools, and practical tips for navigating complex scenarios.
A Practical Guide to Neurodivergence in Family Law equips practitioners with the knowledge, confidence, and strategies needed to deliver truly inclusive advocacy. Whether you are an experienced advocate or just starting out, this essential guide brings together everything you need to recognise when neurodivergence may be a key factor in a case, understand how it might present, and adapt your approach to support meaningful participation in one of the most sensitive and rapidly evolving areas of family law.
