Hello,
It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week!
A worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent.
We've pulled together some of our favourite neurodiverse content this week. Inside autistic minds, unmasking and exploring Tourette's syndrome.
Get in touch with us and let us know what we've missed!

Audible | Unmasked by Ellie Middleton
Ellie was 24 when she learned she wasn't broken. She wasn't a bad person, she was neurodivergent. Her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism was like a lightbulb being switched on and she could finally start to heal from the trauma of being un-diagnosed and mis-understood for so long.
