How to Educate People about Neurodivergence

This Autism Acceptance Month, auticon is talking about the need to better educate people about autism and neurodivergence.

It is thought that 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent but with the number of people receiving a diagnosis of ADHD skyrocketing, and autism assessment services seeing unprecedented figures, it is thought that the figure of 15-20% of the global population is probably conservative.

If we are ever going to pave the way for our neurodivergent community to thrive, education is at the heart of that process.

But how do we tackle years of lack of awareness and understanding to really break through and make meaningful change?

We invited author, illustrator and advocate, Eliza Fricker, Hayley Hamilton, Neuroinclusion Coach at auticon and Eden West, Associate Artist at Access All Areas to join Carrie Grant MBE to discuss how best to educate people about neurodivergence.
