As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week on March 16 - 20 we are staging a Blogaton on our forum - a chain of simple straightforward accounts of neurodiverse experience from neurodivergent people and neurotypical allies. It could be a proper blog post or just a couple of paragraphs about your experience and thoughts.

We would be delighted if you would join us for Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2020.
