Diverse minds, Diverse decisions: How is neurodiversity considered in the Family Justice System? – Kingsley Napley Family Law Blog
‘Amidst the growing awareness and understanding of neurodiversity in the UK, there has been a notable surge in adults and children being diagnosed with conditions like autism and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in particular. It is estimated that around 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent. This cultural shift has left parents and families navigating the family justice system increasingly curious about how their, their spouse or their child’s neurodiversity will factor into the court’s decision-making process. This blog will address if and how the family justice system accounts for a parent or child’s neurodiversity in children proceedings and financial remedy proceedings.’
