I'm not neurodivergent, but my husband and two girls aged nine and 11 are, so I'm used to making adjustments to the way we travel. They're all diagnosed with ADHD, and we had to cater for the girls' allergies too when they were younger.

Client wise, most of my neurodivergent customers are autistic, but I generally use the umbrella term as there is so much crossover. It’s an area I know well. I understand how variable needs can be so I always try to cover these in my basic questions when planning trips.

I often find people then mention allergies, anxiety, ADHD, and so on, alongside any mobility needs. My girls are also hyper mobile, which is a common comorbid condition.
