About Neurodiversity Pride

By 2020, the pandemic might’ve shut down physical events—but it couldn’t shut us up. We cancelled 80% of our in person events and pivoted to online spaces and reached 1500 participants with activities in 3 countries. The celebration made its first steps towards international adoption, as it was borderless by design.

In 2021, we upped the game. We introduced the Pride Universe of the Neurodiverse, a 3D virtual world with 11 activity rooms built by neurodivergent developers and designers. Pride Day was adopted in 6 countries and created the largest dancing area in VR and produced a 18 hour long program.

2022 brought rhythm, color, and community. A 24-hour global DJ marathon spun across time zones, filled with music by neurodivergent artists. Events were organized in 9 countries. It wasn’t just a party—it was a statement: we’re here, we’re thriving, and we sound amazing.

In 2023, we spotlighted thought leadership, with keynote speeches from powerful voices like Professor Nancy Doyle and Jessica McCabe. Neurodiversity was no longer a fringe conversation—it was on the main stage, and celebrated in 11 countries.

Then in 2024, we organized in 15 countries and something symbolic happened. We moved the official date of Neurodiversity Pride Day to June 16, to support our friends at Autistic Pride Day. This wasn’t just a calendar shift. It was a unifying gesture—one that says, we’re stronger when we stand together.

2025 marked our 8th year, with a full week of global events from June 10–17, culminating in the big celebration on June 16. From workshops to art shows, from quiet spaces for reflection to wild moments of unfiltered joy—we’re creating space for every kind of neurodivergent pride.

And now? In 2026, we will be celebrating a new ND Pride, for all neurodivergents & organisations and allies. Each day in ND Pride Week 2026 will have a theme, like ‘gaming day’, ‘peace day’, ‘science day’, ‘dancing day’ and the official Neurodiversity Pride Day on June 16h.
