Our Neurodiversity Speakers.

Neurodiversity is a concept that recognises and respects neurological differences as natural and normal variations within the human population. It encompasses a range of conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and others, advocating for the understanding that these are not defects but rather differences that should be acknowledged and supported in educational, professional, and social environments.

​

In the workplace, recognizing and valuing neurodiversity allows businesses to benefit from a wide range of thinking styles and problem-solving abilities. Neurodiverse teams can bring unique perspectives and innovation, enhancing creativity and decision-making — ultimately supporting the bottom-line. Supporting neurodiversity also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and equality, attracting talent and positive recognition.

​

"Neurodiversity may be every bit as crucial for the human race as biodiversity is for life in general. Who can say what form of wiring will prove best at any given moment?" — Harvey Blume, journalist and autism advocate

Did you know 1 in 7 people in the UK have some type of neuro difference? It’s time to change the narrative and create a balanced view of neurodiversity that focuses equally on the positives. These events and observances help people understand, value and celebrate the talents of neurodiverse minds:

​

📅 Neurodiversity Celebration Week: A week in March dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the diverse minds of people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions, aiming to shift perspectives towards valuing neurodiversity.
