Growing up in the 1990s, secondary school was a nightmare for him. The victim of bullies and an education system that branded him stupid and brutalised his sense of self-worth, one of the most astonishing things about Darren is that he isn’t bitter or angry. He just wants to make the world a better place for neurodiverse people – somewhere that values the neurological differences that give people unusual perspectives and the capacity to think outside the box. Darren was not diagnosed with dyslexia until he was 37, but even if he’d had the diagnosis it’s possible it wouldn’t have made much diff ..read more

Delighted to announce the next guest for my Neurodiversity Stories Aaron Swan - Topic of talk - "Dyslexia is my strength and is a great advantage in engineering and tech. I got thinking about the reasons why I am such a sociable person. Is it innate or did I, at some point, make the choice to be that way? I came to some conclusions and realised that my dyslexia had a huge hand in the way I have ‘turned out’. As cliche as it is, although I am not defined by dyslexia, I certainly am made by it. Whilst I’m hoping that the way dyslexia is handled in schools has changed a lot since I was young, I w ..read more

Delighted to announce the next guest for my Neurodiversity Stories Stories   Dann Casswell - Company Director: Creative Connection Animation Studio   Topic of talk - "Writing Out-loud How being dyslexic helps me to explain."   I’ve always been a communicator.

Delighted to announce the next guest for my Neurodiversity Stories ?   Emma Downer MBA   Topic of talk - "From disguising to thriving with dyslexia"   I was 17 when I discovered I was dyslexic, but it wasn't until I was 28 and I met a dyslexia coach that I fully accepted being dyslexic as part of who I am. Being educated on dyslexia opened up an entirely different and better way of managing the way I work and how I exist in the world. Its now integral in my work as a DIY Educator and as a Life Coach and I am able to help others understand their own ways of working.   Come a ..read more
