Understanding Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brain function and behavioral traits. It recognizes that differences in learning, attention, and social interaction are normal variations, not deficits.
This festival aims to promote understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity within the Exeter community and beyond. It provides a platform for connection, support, and celebration of neurodivergent individuals.
