For twice-exceptional (2e) individuals in immigrant communities, “Neurodivergent Joy” is often suppressed by a “double mask”—the pressure to meet cultural expectations while navigating neurodivergent traits. This session calls for a shift from compliance-based approaches to a Humanistic, Person-Centered framework. Using the Satir Iceberg metaphor, the presenter—a Lehman College graduate student, educator, and parent—explores how empathy and unconditional positive regard reduce internal barriers. Drawing from her son’s journey from depression to university success and her work at FlexSchool, this presentation demonstrates how person-centered support fosters authentic belonging, emotional resilience, and academic thriving for neurodivergent students in diverse cultural contexts.
