Because we are worthy of love and respect, not despite our Neurodivergent brains, but because we are human beings with the wonderful diversity found across all biodiversity

Being neurodivergent isn't all positive. We are disabled by society and by our neurotypes. However we are proud of our differences. We are proud to be us: struggles and all

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.

However, we are not aligned with any given party. We may have allied temporarily with different politicians and political parties for specific causes however that does not mean we support them. We will continue to call out harmful practices both publicly and privately

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.

However, the disabled-led organisers will now focus their campaign on what many in the disabled community have long been calling for as the only way to address poverty and unemployment in the disabled community, which the Green Paper supposedly attempted to address.
