While this guide has been informed by research about heterosexual men who engage in intimate partner abuse, much of the information will also be useful and applicable more widely. It is important to understand that neurodiversity forms just one part of a person’s identity. For instance, a Neurodivergent person may also be married and part of a racially minoritised community. Another Neurodivergent person may also be physically disabled, and a parent who holds refugee status. Another Neurodivergent person may also be Jewish, part of the LGBTQAI+ community and from a working-class background. As these examples show, the different aspects of a person’s identity will be intersectional, which can result in many different and compounding inequalities. This guide can therefore be used and adapted to support Neurodivergent people from different communities who attend an intervention.
