Résumé

Les personnes neurodivergentes éprouvent souvent des difficultés à se comprendre elles-mêmes en raison d’un manque de matériels psychoéducatifs accessibles et valorisants. Ancrée dans l’approche de la neurodiversité, qui considère la neurodivergence comme une différence et non comme un déficit, cette étude a exploré l’impact de ressources coproduites destinées aux jeunes présentant un TDAH et/ou autistes. S’appuyant sur l’expérience vécue, des enquêtes auprès d’adultes neurodivergents (n = 71) ont révélé que 95,7 % estimaient que ces ressources leur auraient été bénéfiques durant l’enfance. L’analyse de contenu et l’analyse thématique réflexive ont mis en évidence des bénéfices essentiels, notamment une acceptation de soi accrue, une meilleure communication et une plus grande confiance dans l’autoreprésentation. Des enquêtes auprès de parents/proches aidants (n = 8) et des entretiens ont en outre indiqué un soutien au bien-être émotionnel, à l’autonomie et aux compétences de communication. Les résultats soulignent l’importance d’un développement dirigé par des personnes neurodivergentes, avec une attention particulière portée au langage et à l’accessibilité. Cette étude renforce le rôle d’une psychoéducation valorisante dans la réduction de la confusion, de la stigmatisation et de la détresse émotionnelle. Les recherches futures devraient examiner les résultats à long terme et adapter les matériels aux différents stades du développement. En favorisant la reconnaissance à la fois des forces et des difficultés, ces ressources peuvent atténuer la stigmatisation et promouvoir des environnements plus inclusifs, contribuant ainsi en définitive à de meilleurs résultats pour les jeunes neurodivergents.

Neurodivergent individuals often struggle with self-understanding due to a lack of accessible, affirming psychoeducational materials. Grounded in the neurodiversity approach – which views neurodivergence as difference, not deficit – this study explored the impact of co-produced resources for ADHD and/or autistic young people. Drawing on lived experience, surveys with neurodivergent adults (n = 71) revealed that 95.7% believed these resources would have been beneficial in childhood. Content analysis and reflexive thematic analysis identified key benefits, including increased self-acceptance, improved communication, and greater confidence in self-advocacy. Parent/carer surveys (n = 8) and interviews further indicated support for emotional well-being, independence, and communication skills. Findings highlight the importance of neurodivergent-led development, with careful attention to language and accessibility. This study reinforces the role of affirming psychoeducation in reducing confusion, stigma, and emotional distress. Future research should examine long-term outcomes and adapt materials across developmental stages. By supporting recognition of both strengths and challenges, these resources can mitigate stigma and foster more inclusive environments – ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for neurodivergent young people.
