Clear, clinically responsible articles on attention, learning, memory, executive functions, dyslexia, ADHD and neuropsychological assessment, written by the Ocnos Psychology Clinic team.
Neuropsychology helps us understand how cognitive processes such as attention, memory, reading, planning, organisation and learning influence everyday life. When difficulties persist at school, at work or at home, a good clinical formulation can prevent simplistic explanations and make support more precise.
In this category, we publish resources for families, adults and professionals who want to understand neuropsychological assessment, child intervention, ADHD, dyslexia, learning difficulties and executive functions from a clear and responsible clinical perspective.
Neuropsychology is closely connected with psychological assessment, learning, attention, emotional wellbeing and family guidance.
The aim is not to reduce a person to a label, but to understand their profile, strengths, needs and context more accurately.
Our blog aims to explain psychological and neuropsychological topics in a clear, careful and clinically responsible way.

Autism and ADHD can look similar in attention, executive functioning, friendships and emotional regulation, and they can also co-occur. This guide explains what may help distinguish them, what cannot diagnose either condition, and how families can observe useful patterns without turning a child into a list of symptoms.
Autism can present in very different ways throughout childhood and adolescence. This guide helps families understand what to notice, what may overlap with autism, how to support a child or teenager, and when a professional assessment may be helpful.
School can demand far more from an autistic pupil than it appears to. This guide explains what to look for, which supports may help in class, during break times and transitions, and how families and schools can work together.
The teenage years bring greater social, academic and independence demands. This guide explains why autistic differences may become more noticeable, what families can observe without turning everyday life into a diagnostic checklist, and what can help at home, at school and in an assessment.
Anxiety can co-occur with autism and may not always look like spoken worry. This guide explains patterns to notice, how to support without forcing, and when to seek professional help.
Friendship changes during adolescence. For some autistic teenagers, groups, unspoken rules, misunderstandings or the effort of fitting in can add a substantial load. This guide explores what may be happening and how to support a young person without forcing a particular way of socialising.
Some autistic girls appear to cope well at school, have friends and achieve good grades, yet maintaining that adaptation can take enormous effort. This guide explains signs that may be missed, how to observe without turning every trait into a symptom, and what can help at home, at school and during a professional assessment.
Going back to school can bring excitement, nerves, disrupted sleep, separation worries or even tummy aches. María de los Ángeles Sanz Ruiz explains how parents can rebuild routines, understand what children may be afraid of and support them without dismissing their feelings or reinforcing avoidance.
raining harder does not always resolve a mental block in competition. This practical guide explains how pressure, attention and self-talk affect performance, with exercises to prepare, recover after mistakes and enjoy sport again.
Do you avoid speaking, calling, meeting people or expressing an opinion because you fear being judged? Rocío Rodríguez Boza, General Health Psychologist, explains how to distinguish shyness from social anxiety, recognise the symptoms and safety behaviours involved, practise gradual exercises and decide when professional support may be helpful.
On Sunday 12 July 2026, Ocnos Psychology Clinic held a practical session for families and volunteers from the Agnes Baden-Powell Scout Group. Héctor Lozano, Rocío Rodríguez and María Ángeles Sanz discussed how to observe children’s behaviour, support their emotions and recognise when professional guidance may be helpful.
Tantrums in children are not always simply a behaviour problem. They often express frustration, tiredness, a need for limits or difficulty regulating emotions. In this guide, María de los Ángeles Sanz Ruiz, General Health Psychologist at Ocnos Psychology Clinic, explains how to understand tantrums, what to do before, during and after them, and when it may be helpful to seek psychological support.
