What is neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term used to describe a range of neurological conditions including, but not limited to, ADHD (attention deficient hyperactivity disorder), autism spectrum disorder, OCD and dyslexia.
In essence, when we talk about a person being neurodivergent, it refers to someone’s brain functioning and processing information differently than the majority, neurotypical brain.
About me:
As a neurodivergent person, I approach this work with lived experience.
When I received my diagnosis of autism and ADHD in my early 20s, my eyes were opened to how organisations fail not only to understand neurodivergent experiences, but also approach talking about disability.
I’ve learnt how much loss of potential there is when a community doesn’t acknowledge, support and empower different minds.
There is so much magic in difference.
My mission is simple:
Creating awareness of neurodivergent experiences, so neurodivergent people can thrive and fulfil their greatest potential.
