A trauma-informed approach is looking out for the needs of the individual with the effect of trauma taken into consideration.

Trauma can have a profound physical, biological, psychological and social effect on a person, and this effect cannot be discounted.1

Trauma, of course, is not specific for neurodivergent people, but misdiagnosis and mistreatment can have a traumatizing effect.
