Diverse Living Devon: Autism & ADHD Support North Devon
for adults, young people, families & children in Devon
We work with neurodivergent adults, families & children aged 7+ who are autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD. You do not need a formal diagnosis—or even know exactly what’s going on—to deserve deep understanding, safety, and support. We are here to help you or your young person feel more confident, more connected, and fully able to flourish on your own terms.
Regulation & Sensory Understanding
Making sense of feelings, behaviours & relationships
Social Safety & Confidence
Just like every flower, every person is different & unique, they have their own strengths & their own challenges. We adapt the environment to help plants thrive; every person deserves the same care, understanding & support to grow, to flourish.
How we work
We look at the whole picture, understanding what’s getting in the way, what’s working well and what can be adapted.
Our support focuses on helping individuals and families build strategies that truly fit their lives. This might include areas such as sensory regulation, executive functioning, anxiety, self-esteem, daily routines, relationships communication or learning.
We work collaboratively to create practical, compassionate solutions that promote confidence, connection and long term growth.

Wordy Wednesdays
There’s a lot of complex language around neurodivergence, mental health, and education. Acronyms. Labels. Professional jargon that can easily feel confusing, overwhelming, or even clinical.
Wordy Wednesdays is all about making that language fully accessible. Not to dictate how anyone should think or identify—but to explain exactly what these words mean in real, everyday language. I deeply believe everyone has the right to understand the definitions being used about them or their child, allowing you to choose the framing that fits your family best.
This space is about understanding, not clinical correction. Clarity, not systemic pressure. Practical support, not labels. I hope that at least one word here helps your family feel a little less alone.
