"Understanding neurodiversity as a form of body mind diversity, challenges traditional, narrow ideas of ‘normal’ and invites us to recognise the legitimacy of diverse ways of thinking, sensing, communicating, and existing. Diversity and cohesion as partners: It’s easy to assume that celebrating differences might pull communities apart and that cohesion might reduce diversity. Cohesion arises not from uniformity, but from embracing differences within a shared framework of values, mutual care, reciprocity, responsibility, and a collective vision and purpose greater than the ‘I’. Moving forward together: As we continue past the celebrations of Neurodiversity Pride Day and Pride Week, let us continue to hold two truths at once: we are wonderfully unique and individual body minds and we are interdependent. Pride and cohesion are not in competition, they are essential companions." Extract from my Neurodiverse Connection blog Celebrating and honouring body mind diversity.
