The short answer is no. The long answer promises a more interesting journey.

With around 15–20% of the world’s population estimated to have brains that develop or work differently, the conversation around neurodiversity has never been more important. 

How do our brains function differently, and why are the strengths of neurodiversity often ignored? 

From ADHD and autism to dyspraxia and dyslexia, neurodiversity encompasses a wide spectrum of experiences – learning to embrace, celebrate and advocate for inclusion is up to all of us. 

Expect an empowering discussion full of new perspectives, busted myths, and expert advocacy from our panel of creative and neurodiverse minds.
