Neurodiversity Celebration Week taking place between 18-24 March 2024 will feature more than 70 panellists across 24 virtual events to celebrate different minds.
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences and aims to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools, universities, organisations, and individuals with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and strengths of neurodivergent individuals.
The virtual events will feature speakers from a range of different backgrounds and professions coming together to share their lived experiences and expertise around a variety of neurodiversity topics. So far this year, the campaign has received support from more than 1,900 schools, 700 universities, 2,700 organisations and 500 charities, clubs, and associations from around the world.

Last year, the event boasted over 50,000 event registrations across the week, and this year’s event is expected to be even bigger. This year’s speakers are from organisations such as the ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity, Disability Rights UK, Neurodiversity in Business, Genius Within, The Future is ND, Ausome Charlie, Perfectly Autistic, The Late Discovered Club and Lexxic.
Some of this year’s topics include:
- An Introduction to Neurodiversity

- Global Perspectives: Neurodiversity around the World
- Empowering Yourself as a Neurodivergent Woman in the Workplace
