Using the enneagram to support neurodiversity through connection.
What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a dynamic personality system that reveals the motivations, fears, and thought patterns driving human behavior. Represented by a nine-pointed diagram, the Enneagram identifies nine unique personality types, each reflecting a distinct way of perceiving the world and interacting with others.
How is it different?
Unlike many personality models, the Enneagram focuses on internal motivations rather than external behaviors. It provides a framework for understanding why we think, feel, and act the way we do, offering insights into personal strengths, growth opportunities, and relationships.
THE NINE TYPES:
The Enneagram identifies nine distinct personality types, each representing a unique way of engaging with the world. These types are not rigid labels but dynamic patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior rooted in core motivations and fears. Each person resonates primarily with one type, which shapes their perspective, relationships, and decision-making.
NEURODIVERSITY & THE ENNEAGRAM
When applied to the context of neurodiversity, the Enneagram helps educators, parents, and professionals understand the nuanced motivations and needs of neurodivergent individuals. By integrating the Enneagram with insights into neurodiversity, we can create environments that honor individuality, foster connection, and support growth for everyone.

As the parent of three neurodivergent children, I’ve created a number of tools to use once you’ve determined your child’s number, to help navigate their neurodiversity as you all work as a family unit to support your child’s needs.
