Neurodiverse New Year’s Resolutions
On Wednesday 5th January 2022, 6-8pm GMT, we will be talking New Year’s resolutions, and the broader idea of developing good habits, from a neurodiversity perspective.
We look forward to welcoming back 2 guests from our hugely successful Neurodiversity Special in November, and to looking more closely at some of the ideas we touched on that night.
We’ll start with 2 short talks, then you’ll have the chance to share your experiences and exchange tips in group discussions.
