Agile Rabbit - 9 Things You Never Knew About Neurodiversity

Thursday, 30 January 2025 at 7 PM (main auditorium)

Dyslexia isn’t a type of neurodivergence, is it? Neurodiversity means being an autistic adult, right? Does having Tics mean you always shout a lot? What is the purpose of getting diagnosed?

Come along to this talk and hear Dr. Abby Russel discuss nine things you never knew about neurodiversity (or maybe you did!). Abby is a scientist based at the University of Exeter Children and Young People’s Mental Health Research Collaboration. Together we’ll look at specific facts about neurodivergence but also delve deeper into things that could help or hinder neurodivergent people. We’ll learn more about our senses, hyper- and hypo-sensitivity, and whether neurodivergence is increasing in the UK – or are we simply becoming more aware of it?
