Medical Support Letter for the Sensitive and Neurodivergent

Medical appointments can be especially stressful for sensitive and neurodivergent people.

This free support letter helps you communicate your needs clearly with doctors, dentists, therapists, specialists, and other healthcare providers. It is designed to help them better understand sensory sensitivity, communication differences, nervous system overwhelm, medication sensitivity, and the importance of respectful, collaborative care.

You can print it, email it ahead of time, or keep it on your phone to share when needed.
