Neurodiversity Celebration Week

Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to celebrate and support individuals of the neurodiverse community including those with ADHD, ASD, Dyslexia, Autism, Tourette's, Dyspraxia and other neurological differences.  

It also seeks to bust the myths and stereotypes around neurodiversity and start conversations about inclusion and acceptance in all aspects of society.

Beds SU is committed to being a voice for ALL our students and at points in the year we look to support the awareness and education of abilities in all, with a particular focus during Disability History Month. 

So as part of this week we wanted to re share some of the articles written on some of the above neurological conditions:

• Explaining ADHD
• Explaining Dyslexia
• Explaining Dyspraxia
• Understanding Autism

You can also rediscover our series of 'What to Watch and Read' recommendation articles that share a series of film, TV programmes and books that offer insight and or stories of individuals from both the neurodiverse and disabled communities.  You can explore all here. 

For students who may wish to meet with others in the neurodiverse, disabled community we have the Students With Disability network group. 

 Away from the SU there are a variety of charities and dedicated groups offering support and a community for individuals including:

• Neurodiversity UK
• The Brain Charity
• ACAS
• ADHD aware
