This week has seen events being held around the globe to mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

The annual worldwide campaign aims to bring about global neurodiversity acceptance, equality and inclusion in schools and workplaces.

Neurodiversity refers to natural differences in human brain function and behavioural traits. It’s estimated that as many as 20% of people may be neurodivergent in some way, an umbrella term that can include those with autism, dyslexia, or ADHD.
