Invitation for Neurodivergent Innovators! We offer, all expenses paid, the "Build your own app in a day event" on March 19th, in Amsterdam, during Brain Awareness Week.

Its a hackathon styled-event where Neurodiversity Foundation is collaborating with Skylark, to support neurodivergent individuals with great ideas to have their app created..... a game.... a tool.... it can be anything, and the process will use a new ai called Marnix to code their build, reducing the needs for specialized human coders or big stacks of money to start. Let's go!

There will be space for a maximum of 15 innovators, who will be supported by 8 teachers during the day, and learn how to do this for their own concept, but perhaps also any new idea to follow. It's all paid for, except your travel costs to the location, and your app and idea will remain you own, we just want to empower neurodivergent innovators to make awesome, useful or lovely things possible.

If there are many signups, we will add another live event, and possibly a online event, for those who can't travel to Amsterdam. If there are more signups that spaces, there will be a selection made.

Join us. Build your own app. Link to sign up: https://forms.gle/CWisQGyHtoa8pFX76

Agnes Joseph wint de Neuro-Inclusieve Politicus Award 2025–2026
Eindelijk erkenning voor de politicus die de moed vond om menselijkheid centraal te stellen.

Met trots feliciteren wij Agnes Joseph (van de BBB BoerBurgerBeweging), uitgeroepen tot winnaar van de Neuro-Inclusieve Politicus Award 2025–2026 (NIP Award). Deze prijs bekroont politici die hoop geven aan neurodivergente Nederlanders – autisten, ADHD’ers, dyslecten, hoogbegaafden en anderen met neurologische variaties – in de politieke arena.

🔹Waarom Agnes Joseph de winnaar is
Agnes Joseph wordt door de jury omschreven als een moedige, integere en luisterende politicus die niet vóór, maar met de mensen spreekt voor wie ze beleid maakt. Sinds 2023 viel zij op als een van de meest neuro-inclusieve Kamerleden: zorgvuldig, betrokken en altijd bereid zich te verdiepen in de leefwereld van de doelgroep.

🔹 Doorbraak: einde aan discriminerende rijbewijskeuringen
Ze speelde een hoofdrol in het beëindigen van de onnodige en discriminerende rijbewijskeuringen voor autisten en ADHD’ers – een doorbraak die duizenden mensen hun waardigheid teruggaf.
Volgens juryvoorzitter Tjerk Feitsma: “Met die stap gaf ze waardigheid en miljoenen euro’s terug aan duizenden mensen die jarenlang onnodig gestigmatiseerd werden door overbodige onzin waar ook nog eens duur voor betaald moest worden.”

🔹 De moed van Motion 370
In 2025 schreef Joseph geschiedenis met Motion 370, waarmee de Tweede Kamer met 92% meerderheid stemde om intensieve ABA-therapieën te beperken qua financiering en middelen in te zetten voor veiligere, niet-schadelijke zorg.
Jurylid Elijah Delsink (LBVSO) noemde het: “Een historische overwinning voor autistische kinderen en hun ouders. Agnes stak haar nek uit waar anderen dachten dat het niet kon.”

🔹Politiek die met mensen wordt gemaakt
Wat Joseph onderscheidt, is haar manier van werken. Ze vraagt advies aan ervaringsdeskundigen, werkt samen met belangenorganisaties en betrekt de doelgroep rechtstreeks bij het opstellen van moties – een zeldzame maar waardevolle praktijk in Den Haag. En zo riep ze ook op, om Neurodiversity Pride Day een nationale feestdag te maken, wetende hoe belangrijk dat is voor neurodivergente mensen.
Jurylid Jopie Louwe Kooijmans zei: “Agnes luistert naar echte verhalen, en dat hoor je terug in haar woorden in de Kamer.” Feitsma vult aan: “Totaal geen interesse in applaus of likes – puur gericht op de taak als vertegenwoordiger. Dit is het type politicus dat Nederland nodig heeft.”

🔹 Brede waardering
De jury sprak ook brede waardering uit voor eerdere winnaars als Lisa Westerveld en Don Ceder en alle genomineerden, specifiek Sarah Dobbe (SP), werd geroemd om haar inzet voor menselijke jeugdzorg. Maar zoals de jury het samenvatte: “Wat Agnes heeft gedaan voor de neurodivergente gemeenschap… groter dan dat kun je het bijna niet doen.” Agnes heeft bewezen, dat wanneer het gedaan wordt met compassie, politiek hoop kan brengen.
