Understanding Neurodiversity

Book your ticket

Summary

Neurodiversity covers things like ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other conditions which affect how people can view, think and behave in the world. Often neurodivergent folk have unique thinking alongside some key challenges to overcome. Some also can have learning challenges and need a key to unlock their brain, whilst others also have some superpowers! We will explore all this in more detail, especially useful when it is estimated that in the UK at least 1 in 7 (nearly 15%) are neurodiverse!

About the Speaker

Helen is a coach and nurse, with over 30 years’ experience of working in health and wellbeing. She is the founder of Practical Wisdom, a not-for-profit organisation supporting neurodivergent adults. From a child struggling at school due to her dyslexia she has risen through the NHS ranks to become a Clinical Director with a remit that includes transgender health care. She is a dyslexic author and often jokes that also having ADHD traits has meant she lives 3 lives in one! Helen has a vibrant and cheeky (adopted) son who’s great at keeping her grounded and she is passionate for a trauma informed approach to be more mainstream.
