It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week! 🌈

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities. As a fellow spoonie with ADHD this week is very important to me!

This week all about embracing and celebrating the unique ways in which our brains work. So, how can you join in on the fun?

The cat on the left is clutching its ears with an angry expression, the ferret on the right is smiling and winking with a speech bubble '!!'. Across both characters is a red banner with black text reading 'AuDHD'. The hand drawn design is raising awareness for autism, adhd and audhd neurodivergent people.

What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity encompasses a wide range of neurological variations, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. It's all about recognising that these differences are a natural part of the human experience, and that we all have something valuable to contribute, no matter how our brains are wired. So, let's celebrate those differences in all their quirky glory!
