Event Description
This December, the Ask Me Anything stage welcomes speakers to share one of their many layers: neurodiversity. The term neurodiversity was coined by Judy Singer, a sociologist with autism, who highlighted the strengths of being neurodiverse. Diversity and inclusion extends beyond the surface and delves into what makes us unique. Neurodiversity appreciates that many people have a layer of autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Our speakers will explore neurodiversity in the public service, how to be an ally to our neurodiverse colleagues, their strengths, and the power in neurodiversity of those around us. Neurodiversity is diversity. Join us this month on the Ask Me Anything stage as we recognize, uplift, and celebrate neurodiversity.
