It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025! 🌟
So what is Neurodiversity? 🤔
It promotes the view that neurological differences are to be recognised & respected as any other human variation. Its used to counter negative social connotations that currently exist around this and to make it easier for people of all neurotypes to contribute to the world as they are, rather than attempting to think or appear more ‘typically’ to fit in.
Neurodiversity encompasses all specific learning difficulties.
My personal flavour of Neurodiversity is Dyspraxia (DCD) 💖
Lots of people haven’t heard of this one, and it’s quite widely misunderstood. It’s a lot more than just “being clumsy”. It affects parts of the brain responsible for processing movement & spatial awareness - this can affect the ability to follow sequences of instructions or learn new processes, as well as fine motor control and balance.
This week is about challenging misconceptions, breaking down barriers, and celebrating the incredible strengths & talents of neurodivergent individuals 🎉
In my case, I have found Dyspraxia gives me a completely different perspective, which allows me to “think outside the box” and apply my creativity to a multitude of situations.
Being Dyspraxic, even day-to-day tasks can be a struggle. Which has really built my resilience and also my tenacity. I don’t give up - it’s not an option. There might just have to be a different route to the desired outcome. And I now have ROCK SOLID processes that guide me and my business.
We’re also incredibly loving, empathetic and good humoured. Us, more than anyone, understands that life can be tough. Which helps us to lean into supporting and lifting up others.
I’ve been working with on my confidence with loads of amazing other women. I now feel the importance of being more visible, especially as a neurodiverse female founder.
At Glint, we are committed to giving visibility and support to all neurodiverse individuals, be that clients, partners or colleagues ❤️
