People will have increasingly heard the term Neurodiversity. Some may know what it means but many are still unsure or scared to ask. In my talk I try to explain the basics of Neurodiversity, dispell some common misconceptions and give some of my own experiences. I will also give you some ideas for how to accommodate Neurodivergent people and where to look for support.
