@jade_irwin @EdenCNI Can't wait to hear all about it. Gutted I am busy

Great to be at @EdenCNI’s “Beyond the Noise” conference, exploring the importance of taking a neuro-affirming approach, making sure this doesn’t become a misunderstood word or tokenistic approach. Change the world around neurodivergent children rather than changing the child. 👏

It is such a powerful performance
