Neurodivergent Life
Providing a platform for neurodivergent life experiences to be understood. This includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and others mentioned in the DSMV-TR.
The aim is to highlight:
- Diversity of experience – recognising that neurodivergence encompasses a wide range of profiles that include unique strengths and challenges.
- Identity and acceptance – encouraging individuals to embrace their neurodivergent identity and see their unique value while promoting awareness and acceptance within the wider community.
- Advocacy – making a stand that promotes the rights and needs of neurodivergent people in our communities with the goal of improving the inclusivity of our environments.
- Environmental support – creating spaces to foster connections, share experiences, resources and enhance support.
- Personal growth – discuss practical strategies for navigating daily life, including coping mechanisms, self-advocacy, and participating in a supportive environment.
The overarching vision is to empower neurodivergent people through celebrating their strengths, insight and participation which simultaneously promotes the development of a more inclusive community.
