Neurodiversity Celebration Week is almost here - running from Sunday 15 March to Sunday 22 March - and we are so excited to celebrate alongside our communities across Ayrshire and Arran.
This special week is all about recognising and valuing the many different ways people think, learn, feel and experience the world.
It’s an opportunity to uplift autistic people, ADHD-ers, people with FASD, learning differences, developmental differences, and all neurodivergent identities.
It’s also a chance to highlight the experiences of families, carers and professionals who support neurodivergent individuals every day.
💙 We’re celebrating - and we’d love you to celebrate with us too.
What to Expect This Year
Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing up to four posts every single day.
These will include:
🎥 New lived‑experience videos from neurodivergent individuals of all ages
🎥 Videos from services across Ayrshire & Arran, highlighting support available locally🔍 Information, strengths-based messages and helpful resources
There’s a lot to look forward to - and we want everyone to feel welcome and included.
