Hello everybody! Seems spring is getting closer and the weather is teasing us, tempting us to go outside. I know I can't wait.

How are you doing?

Do you have any plans for the week?

What is something you would like to do once spring is officially here?

Hi all, as some of you may know it's neurodiversity week. Neurodiversity can include Autism and ADHD.

For those of you that are aware of these conditions I have a little quiz (no right or wrong answers)

1) What is autism?

2) What is ADHD?

3) Do these conditions mean anything to you?

4) What positive changes could we all make to embrace neurodiversity in our community?

Personally: I think autism and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are very similar, but with ADHD there are struggles to be able to organise tasks, ability to focus can be hard and the struggle to sit still. Where as autism has the aspects of sensory input and output such as hearing loud noises which can be almost painful. Or struggling with a texture with food.

These conditions mean a lot to me as I have suspected ADHD and signs of Autism and my daughter is on the way to being diagnosed with Autism too. I believe that the world could make positive changes by accepting that neurodiversity just means we think and act a little different which is totally okay 😊

I will look forward to reading your responses to the questions.
