Join us as we focus on reframing the narrative around neurodivergence, destigmatising diagnosis and demystifying what it is like to think a little differently. From early schoolhood experiences, misdiagnosis, late diagnosis and how to celebrate and support neurodivergent friends, family members and colleagues.
