Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week! This week is a dedicated time to recognise and celebrate the neurodiverse community.

It is a great opportunity to educate yourself on neurodiversity and learn how you can support neurodiverse people.

We have a range of resources you can use, like our 'Guide for Neurotypicals: Understanding Autistic and ADHD women and girls' and our Thinking Differently zine which offers insights on the gendered differences in autism and ADHD. Check them out here: https://www.thewi.org.uk/campaigns/key-and-current-campaigns/thinking-differently

Through awareness and inclusion, we can ensure that neurodiverse people feel comfortable and celebrated.
