Mar 17, 2025, BBC News: Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025: What is it all about?
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is from 17 - 23 March in 2025.
It's when people all over the UK are encouraged to think about and celebrate neurodiversity, as well as challenge stereotypes people might have about it.
Neurodiversity is a word used to describe the different thinking styles that influence how people communicate with the world around them.
It is an umbrella term - a word that sums up lots of different things. It includes autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and Tourette's.
Thousands of schools have signed up to take part, to celebrate and raise awareness about what it means to be neurodivergent.
Siena Castellon started Neurodiversity Celebration week in 2018, she said: "People often focus on the challenges of neurological diversity.
"I wanted to change the narrative and create a balanced view which focuses equally on our talents and strengths."
