We have the privilege to speak for human rights, we are not going to allow the illusion of social niceties silence our voices. We will continue to speak out for our Neuro Clann and will continue to fight to include other marginalised voices in the room.

Our determination to not stand down or toe the status quo has caused us to gain a reputation as an organisation that will speak up against injustice despite the potential fallout especially within political circles. We stand by this.

Despite common belief, the Neuro Pride team have no interest in achieving political favour. It may shock some of you to know we can actually be quite isolated at political events due to our beliefs and stances appearing more radical than others: such as our anti ABA stance.

We by our very nature are political. We fight for Neurodivergent rights alongside those of our fellow marginalised humans. We engage in political activities such as speaking to government committees, attending and organising protests against unjust and unfit systems.
