Neurodiversity Insights

Talking about Sex and intimacy, how this can be experienced, what it might look like and the acknowledgement of its value and relevance.

Recent research has found that reduced synaptic pruning - the natural process by which the brain trims unused neural connections - may play a key role in how neurodivergent people experience and process the world. During infancy, there is a period of increased synaptic development. From birth through adolescence, synaptic pruning occurs following the initial overgrowth. This process optimises the neural network by removing underused connections. This process is considered to
