How Will You Celebrate?

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is for everyone - at work, school, home and in the community! Here are some fun and easy ways to get involved:

Tell the world what you’re doing!
Use#Neurodiversity
CelebrationWeek2025 and tag our organisations in!

1. Display Inspiring Posters

 

We’ve designed a vibrant poster series featuring the Young Neurodiversity Champions, celebrating key strengths often seen in neurodivergent individuals:

  • Creativity

  • Focus

  • Sensory Strengths

  • Energy

  • Self-Belief

Each day during Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’ll spotlight one of these strengths—sharing real stories and insights from neurodivergent individuals on social media.

Join the conversation!  Like, share, and tell us how these strengths shine in your classroom, workplace, or community. Let’s celebrate the power of different minds together!

2. Host a Celebration Event

 

 

 

Show your commitment to neurodiversity by bringing your school, workplace, or community together!

  • Host an assembly, breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea (in person or online)

  • Invite a Young Neurodiversity Champion or speaker to share their experiences

Back the Young Neurodiversity Champions –
Be the Change!

 

Our Young Neurodiversity Champions are out there making waves—challenging the status quo, sharing their stories, and pushing for real change. Their passion and courage inspire us every day.

This year, we need $15,000 to get them to Wellington for the Young Neurodiversity Champions Hui at Parliament, where they’ll rally hundreds of young people to demand action from our politicians.​​

Will you help make it happen? Hold a fundraiser at your school or workplace during Neurodiversity Celebration Week and show our neurodivergent youth that we stand with them.

NCW-Events

However you choose to celebrate, you’re helping to create a world where neurodivergent minds are understood, valued, and supported.

Let’s make this the best Neurodiversity Celebration Week yet!
