Sab Samuel AKA Aida H Dee from Drag Queen Story Hour® https://www.facebook.com/dragqueenstoryhouruk/This week my colleagues and I will be participating in Neurodiversity Celebration Week: an initiative started in 2019 By UN Youth Ambassador Siena Castellon. What I especially love about the way she approached the problem is that she recognized the difference between “awareness campaigns” and actively accepting and celebrating diversity. Recognizing All Forms Of AchievementAs a part of my company’s contribution to Neurodiversity Celebration week we send out our lived experience ambassadors and psychologists to participate in educational events, but we wanted to do more to actively celebrate so in 2019 we created the Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards. Sometimes we can feel intimidated by the really highfliers, the neurodiversity heroes in sport, the arts and business. If you run a company, or a team, you can sign up for Neurodiversity Celebration Week and spend some time thinking about the value of a neurodiverse world, where difference is understood and valued.
