Words from our Community

"The first (creative) workshop (held in May 2025) demonstrated poetry, visual art, and photography as different approaches to expressing neurodivergent experiences. For me, the real value lay in returning to creative practices I'd set aside years ago. The brainstorming process felt natural and fun – a great little hyper-fixation for me to fall into – and gave me space to explore ideas specifically around my neurodivergence."

"I am already on a personal mission to increase awareness of ND, however it has added more experiences and I can now talk about the exhibition when delivering training."

"Some pieces radiated joy and connection, others clearly emerged from pain and struggle, but all of them carried authentic weight. There was something beautiful about seeing that spectrum of experience displayed together." Iona, University of Warwick
