What Neurodiversity Has Taught Me About Working in the Charity Sector

What neurodiversity has taught me about working in the charity sector

I’m always encouraged to find out about any initiatives that promote the acceptance of neuro-divergence and this celebration week “is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. It aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, organisations, and others around the world with the opportunity to recognise the many skills and talents of neurodivergent individuals.”
