Approximately 15-20% of population has a neurological difference. When it comes to inclusion, neurodiversity refers to a world where neurological differences are recognised & respected as all other human variations.
Here at Active Westminster we pride ourselves on harnessing an inclusive environment for all. That’s why we wanted to take some time to bring your attention to Neurodiversity Celebration Week which takes place between 18th – 24th of March this year.
It was founded in 2018 by Siena Castellon, a teenager who is autistic, has ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Siena’s goal is to take the focus away from the challenges of neurological diversity and change the narrative to be more balanced, focusing equally on talents and strengths.
This worldwide initiative challenges stereotypes and misconceptions and strives to create more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences & empower every individual.
