Neurodiversity Celebration Week challenges stereotypes and promotes inclusion, recognising and respecting  neurological differences.

We often talk about specific neuro differences including Autism and ADHD, but these can also

co-occur.

It is estimated that 15% – 20% of the UK population has a neurological difference.*

The prevalence for Autism in the UK is 1.3%.**

In Dorset  just over 14,000 people (1.7% of the population) have a diagnosis of Autism,

 of these:

 1,700 have a diagnosis of both Autism and a Learning Disability

 Over 3,000 have an Autism and ADHD diagnosis.
