This 2 April marks the 17th International Autism Awareness Day, a global initiative that shines a light on the rights, contributions, and stories of individuals on the autism spectrum. It’s also a timely opportunity to broaden the conversation around neurodivergence, encouraging more inclusive workplaces and events that celebrate diverse ways of thinking.
Neurodivergence refers to variations in how people think, learn, and engage with the world. It encompasses conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and more. These differences are not deficits—they represent alternative perspectives and strengths.
Autism is a developmental condition that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. As a spectrum, it presents uniquely in every individual—some may require daily support, while others live independently and thrive across industries.
A powerful way to champion neurodiversity is by amplifying the voices of those with lived experience. Booking neurodivergent speakers for your next event can provide invaluable insights, challenge stereotypes, and inspire audiences with stories of resilience and success. At Saxton, we are proud to represent a range of incredible speakers who bring unique perspectives to the stage:
By featuring neurodivergent speakers at your event, you help create a more inclusive world where diverse voices and perspectives are heard and valued.
