 Guest Speaker Mark Le Messurier

The rapidly CHANGING FACE of NEURODIVERSITY in the community. A revolution in the way we think about, discuss, and respond to people under the neurodivergent umbrella.

There are many neurotypes, or unique ways in which a person’s brain is
wired. We now know that the differences in these neurotypes, are the result of physical differences in brain structures. So, ADHD, Autism, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, Downs Syndrome, OCD, and more represent a distinct cognitive style. We now view these as natural variations in the human rhythm, rather than deficits that must be treated, or cured.
I’ll leave you with two neuroaffirming thoughts to take away. The first is that our neurodivergent kids are not broken, not less, not disordered, and do not need to be fixed up. They simply walk to the beat of another drum. The second is they always will walk to the beat of that unique drum. They will grow up to be adults with their very own neurotype. Let’s value their neurodivergence so they can grow into it with pride. Without us showing our acceptance and absolute positivity, they cannot grow into their uniqueness with pride.
