The Neurodivergent Nervous System Workbook:

This powerful workbook by Dr. Megan Anna Neff is a deep dive into how your body and mind actually work together—especially if you’re ADHD, Autistic, or otherwise neurodivergent. Through neuroscience, reflection prompts, and self-mapping exercises, you’ll uncover how your nervous system shapes emotions, focus, and daily energy.

You’ll learn to identify your own window of tolerance, recognize patterns of hyperarousal (fight-flight) and hypoarousal (freeze-shutdown), and understand why neurodivergent systems are often more sensitive to stress and environmental change. Dr. Neff explains key concepts like vagal tone, heart rate variability, and nervous system rigidity in plain, compassionate language—making complex science feel personal and actionable.

Each chapter offers a blend of education and embodied practice: mapping your triggers and “glimmers,” regulating with sensory tools, and experimenting with up-regulating or down-regulating strategies that restore balance. You’ll also explore how ADHD and Autism differ in stress recovery and how to train your system for more flexibility, rest, and resilience.

Perfect for anyone who’s ever thought “Why do I react this way?” or “Why can’t I calm down like other people?”, this workbook helps you decode your body’s stress patterns and build a supportive care plan—no shame, no jargon, just real self-understanding.
