Use plain language while preserving uncertainty, co-occurring needs and individual variation. Neuroaffirming language should not erase disability, distress or support requirements.

Family handover
Help families understand the person before they start managing the label
Families often leave feedback appointments with emotion, questions and too much information. SheldonDx supports a smaller handover: what the conclusion means, what it does not, how to respond now and where the next clinical question belongs.
A question for your current workflow
What will the family remember after the report language and appointment emotion compete for attention?
Make the first request concrete
A family is more likely to use one clear change—such as transition warning, direct communication or reduced sensory load—than a complete theory of neurodivergence.
Keep private material private
Share only what the patient has consented to share. A family resource should not expose the full report, trauma history or unrelated clinical details.
Questions worth answering before a demo
Does family guidance replace clinician feedback?
No. It supports the feedback and follow-up process.
Can guidance be sent when the patient does not want family involved?
Patient consent, capacity, safeguarding and local law govern involvement. The platform does not override those responsibilities.
