What results day is like when you're neurodivergent - and how parents can help

Exam results day can be especially challenging for neurodivergent individuals, whose brains work differently due to conditions like autism and ADHD. Stories from individuals like Paddy, Lotte, and Stefano shed light on the stress and pressure these students experience. Parents and carers can support neurodivergent students by planning for various outcomes, avoiding vague reassurances, and providing alternative ways to access results. Encouraging self-care, avoiding comparisons, and emphasizing personal achievements are crucial for helping neurodivergent students navigate the emotional intensity of results day.
