Throughout the week of 16th – 20th March, Response joined the internet in honouring Neurodiveristy Celebration Week 2026.
We are incredibly passionate about neurodiversity here at Response, and, more importantly, about embracing our differences and striving for neuroinclusivity. However, sometimes one voice just isn’t enough. We thought Neurodiversity celebration week was the perfect opportunity to share some other voices with you- those who understand the experiences of being neurodivergent in an overwhelmingly neurotypical world.
If you’re looking for a new book to learn more about neurodiversity, a new TV show/Film to get lost in, a podcast to soundtrack your morning. Or, you might be looking to learn about the experiences of other neurodivergent folks, with one of our #FollowFriday recommendations !
We’re here to guide you through some of our favourites. But hey, don’t just take our word for it- give some of these a go for yourself.
