Our community listening sessions confirmed that neurodivergent (ND) individuals  everywhere are tired of being looked over and talked at.

 

We decided to take action so that we are front and center when it comes to research, conversations, and decision making that involves NDs.

NDs are part of every conversation and decision from beginning to end!

We all deserve to have access and resources to advocate for ourselves and our community.
 
We need resources that support advocacy by NDs and for NDs.
 
So, we will research, study, and engage in collaborative activities to establish extensive, free access to evidence-based, community-created, ND-affirming resources.
