Neurodiversity Celebration Week…

I’ve been experiencing emotional whiplash at seeing the discussion take one step forward in one context, and one or two steps back in another. In a week of neurodiversity celebration, we see so many voices joining together, organisations wanting to focus on the topic (at least for a week, which is better than not at all, even if potentially tokenistic), and more people shouting from the rooftops. Yet, in the same week, quite literally life altering/destroying issues are occurring at a wider systemic level.
