SUMMARY:Webinar: Van aanpassen naar jezelf zijn - neurodiversiteit en cultuur
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 17 June 2026 | 14:00 – 14:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: Dutch \nVan aanpassen naar jezelf zijn: neurodiversiteit en cultuur is a free online webinar by Eddy Vorm\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on neurodiversity at work. \nIn this session\, Eddy Vorm shares a personal story about the tension between cultural expectations\, top-sport mentality and a neurodivergent brain. The webinar explores what happens when people learn to adapt in order to belong\, and how that adaptation can sometimes move them further away from who they really are. \nThe session reflects on the price of constantly adapting\, especially when cultural norms\, performance pressure and neurodivergent experience meet. It is a story about masking\, identity\, pressure\, belonging and the strength of returning to yourself. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride is also about the movement from adapting to surviving\, toward being allowed to exist more fully as yourself. For neurodivergent people\, that can mean questioning which expectations are truly helpful\, and which ones have taught us to hide\, shrink or override ourselves. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Van aanpassen naar jezelf zijn: neurodiversiteit en cultuur\nDate: Wednesday 17 June 2026\nTime: 14:00 – 14:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: Dutch\nSpeaker: Eddy Vorm\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA personal story about neurodiversity\, culture and identity\nReflection on the tension between cultural expectations and a neurodivergent brain\nInsight into the price people may pay when they keep adapting to belong\nA conversation about top-sport mentality\, pressure and self-understanding\nAn invitation to reflect on the strength of returning to who you really are\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for neurodivergent people\, managers\, coaches\, HR professionals\, workplace inclusion teams\, people from multicultural contexts\, athletes\, educators and anyone interested in the relationship between culture\, performance\, masking and self-acceptance. \nView the webinar week and registration information here

SUMMARY:Webinar: What research reveals on how daily practices shape neurodivergent experiences
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 17 June 2026 | 13:00 – 13:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: English \nWhat research reveals on how daily practices shape neurodivergent experiences is a free online webinar by Giovanna Calainho\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on neurodiversity at work. \nThis session explores how organisational policies and everyday workplace practices shape the experiences of neurodivergent people. Based on extensive research\, the webinar looks at what inclusion means in practice\, not only in policy documents or intention statements. \nThe session focuses on the daily details that can either include or exclude: routines\, expectations\, communication patterns\, management choices\, flexibility\, psychological safety and the way policies are translated into lived workplace reality. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because neuroinclusion is not only created by good intentions. It is shaped by what people experience every day: how meetings are run\, how feedback is given\, how flexibility is handled\, and whether people can participate without constantly masking or adapting themselves out of view. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: What research reveals on how daily practices shape neurodivergent experiences\nDate: Wednesday 17 June 2026\nTime: 13:00 – 13:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: English\nSpeaker: Giovanna Calainho\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nResearch-based insight into neurodivergent experiences at work\nReflection on how daily practices can include or exclude\nAttention to the gap between policy and lived experience\nPractical understanding of which workplace shifts can move the needle\nA research-informed contribution to the wider Neurodiversity Pride Week conversation\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for HR professionals\, DEI teams\, managers\, researchers\, workplace networks\, neurodivergent employees\, organisational development professionals and anyone interested in evidence-based neuroinclusion at work. \nView the webinar week and registration information here \n

SUMMARY:June 17th: Replay & Closing Day
DESCRIPTION:Replay & Closing Day\nWednesday 17 June 2026 | Online | Part of Neurodiversity Pride Week \nReplay & Closing Day is the final day of Neurodiversity Pride Week: a day to look back\, reconnect\, share highlights\, and revisit the voices\, stories and ideas that shaped this year’s celebration. \nAfter a week of science\, solidarity\, gaming\, dancing\, activities\, flag hoistings\, keynotes\, community events and Pride celebrations\, Replay Day brings the movement together again online. It is a calmer closing space where people can watch recordings\, discover moments they missed\, and feel connected to the wider global Neurodiversity Pride community\, as we’re all watching it at the same time. \nThroughout the day\, we stream ND Pride-related speeches\, workshops\, interviews\, talks and community content online. You can join for a few minutes\, watch a full session\, return throughout the day\, or simply keep the stream open as a gentle companion while you reflect on the week. \nReplay & Closing Day is also an invitation to rest\, to relax. Pride is not only about visibility and celebration; it is also about integration\, reflection and care. After the energy of Neurodiversity Pride Day itself\, this final day offers a softer landing: time to remember what happened\, honour what was shared\, and carry the message forward. \nWhat to expect\n\nA 24-hour online stream of ND Pride-related content\nRecordings of speeches\, workshops\, talks and community moments\nHighlights from Neurodiversity Pride Week around the world\nA calmer closing space after the main Pride celebrations\nA chance to discover sessions and stories you may have missed\nTime to reflect on neurodivergent pride\, dignity\, self-acceptance and community\n\nWho is it for?\nReplay & Closing Day is for neurodivergent people\, family members\, friends\, allies\, educators\, researchers\, professionals\, organisations and anyone who wants to learn from the voices and experiences shared during Neurodiversity Pride Week. \nYou do not need to attend the full stream. You are welcome to join in the way that works for you: watch one video\, follow several sessions\, return later\, listen quietly\, share with others\, or simply take in the feeling of being part of a global celebration of neurodivergent minds. While the stream may continue broadcasting longer that 24 hours\, the official end of this day\, is 23.59 in each timezone. \nClosing the week\, carrying it forward\nNeurodiversity Pride Week may close on 17 June\, to make space for our friends celebrating Autistic Pride Day on the 18th\, but the meaning of the week continues. The recordings\, stories and ideas shared on Replay & Closing Day are reminders that neurodivergent people are not alone\, that our minds are part of human diversity\, and that every act of visibility can help build a more accepting world. \nEvery brain is beautiful. Every story matters. Every moment of pride can become part of something larger.

SUMMARY:Neuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 16 June 2026 | 13:00 – 16:00 CEST / Rotterdam time | Rotterdam Central Library \nNeuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library is an interactive afternoon at Rotterdam Central Library\, bringing together stories\, conversation\, creativity and lived experience on Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nThe event invites visitors to meet neurodivergent writers\, poets\, advocates and community voices who share personal stories of unmasking\, self-understanding\, difference\, visibility and belonging. Through the format of a “Living Library\,” people are invited into real conversations: not only reading stories on a page\, but meeting the people behind them. \nA Living Library offers a powerful way to challenge assumptions. Instead of borrowing a book\, visitors can speak with a “living book”: a person with a lived experience\, identity or story that may be misunderstood\, stereotyped or rarely heard directly. In this neuro-inclusive edition\, the focus is on neurodivergent lives\, voices and ways of making meaning. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride begins with being allowed to tell your own story. For many neurodivergent people\, unmasking is not simply a personal act; it is a social one. It means moving from being interpreted by others toward speaking in your own voice\, on your own terms. \nLibraries are natural places for this kind of meeting. They are spaces for stories\, learning\, access and public imagination. By bringing neurodivergent storytelling into a library setting\, this event helps make visible the richness\, complexity and humanity of different minds. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neuro-Inclusive Storytelling & Living Library\nDate: Tuesday 16 June 2026\nTime: 13:00 – 16:00 CEST / Rotterdam time\nLocation: Rotterdam Central Library\nAddress: to be confirmed by the organiser\nOrganisers: Bibliotheek Rotterdam / Neurodiversity Collective NL\nAudience: neurodivergent people\, writers\, poets\, advocates\, library visitors\, allies\, families\, educators and anyone interested in lived experience and storytelling\n\nWhat to expect\n\nAn interactive Living Library afternoon\nPersonal stories from neurodivergent writers\, poets and advocates\nConversations about unmasking\, identity\, creativity and belonging\nA chance to listen to lived experience beyond stereotypes\nA cultural and community-based contribution to Neurodiversity Pride Day\nA welcoming library setting for reflection\, dialogue and connection\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in neurodivergent storytelling\, creative writing\, poetry\, advocacy\, libraries\, inclusion\, unmasking\, identity\, cultural participation and public conversations that help reduce stigma. \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community. The event is organised independently and may not be exclusively created for ND Pride\, see the website of the organizer for details.

SUMMARY:Nationale Jeugd Keynote | Hans Bruintjes | Youth Keynote 2026 - Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Dinsdag 16 juni 2026 | Nederlandse tijd | Online \nTaal: Nederlands \nVoor de Nederlandse editie van Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 verwelkomen we Hans Bruintjes als spreker van de Jeugd Keynote NL. \nDe Jeugd Keynote is een bijzondere traditie binnen Neurodiversity Pride Day Nederland. Eerdere jeugdkeynotes werden uitgesproken door onder anderen Elijah Delsink en Jopie Kooijmans. Het is een moment waarop we ruimte maken voor een jonge of nieuwe pionier uit de neurodivergente gemeenschap: iemand die niet alleen iets te vertellen heeft over zichzelf\, maar ook over de wereld waarin neurodivergente jongeren\, studenten en volwassenen hun weg proberen te vinden. \nIn 2026 wordt deze keynote uitgesproken door Hans Bruintjes. Hans is onderzoeker\, juridisch denker en belangenbehartiger op het gebied van neurodiversiteit\, inclusie en discriminatie. Hij is ook Research Fellow van de Neurodiversity Foundation. In zijn werk onderzoekt hij hoe systemen\, regels\, procedures en beleidskeuzes kunnen bijdragen aan uitsluiting\, maar ook hoe ze veranderd kunnen worden om neurodivergente mensen beter te beschermen en meer ruimte te geven. \nHans brengt een stem die jong\, scherp en inhoudelijk sterk is. Hij spreekt vanuit een combinatie van onderzoek\, juridische analyse\, maatschappelijke betrokkenheid en persoonlijke missie. Zijn werk laat zien dat discriminatie tegen neurodivergente mensen niet altijd zichtbaar of luid is. Vaak zit het juist in systemen die neutraal lijken: in schooladvies\, sollicitatieprocedures\, zorgpaden\, gemeentelijk beleid\, hulpverlening\, rapportages en regels die niet goed aansluiten op hoe verschillende breinen functioneren. \nMet zijn publicatie De stem van de neurodivergent bracht Hans ervaringen van honderden neurodivergente mensen samen rondom discriminatie in onderwijs\, arbeid\, zorg en contact met de overheid. Daarmee maakt hij zichtbaar wat vaak onzichtbaar blijft: dat uitsluiting niet alleen gaat over incidenten\, maar ook over terugkerende patronen\, gemiste signalen en systemen die nog te weinig rekening houden met neurodivergente mensen. \nWe weten nog niet precies waar Hans in zijn Jeugd Keynote over zal spreken. Maar zijn werk en aanwezigheid passen sterk bij de betekenis van Neurodiversity Pride Day: niet alleen vieren wie we zijn\, maar ook eerlijk kijken naar wat er nog moet veranderen. Zeker voor jongeren en jonge volwassenen is dat belangrijk. Want wie opgroeit in een wereld waar je brein vaak verkeerd begrepen wordt\, heeft niet alleen steun nodig\, maar ook taal\, rechten\, erkenning en voorbeelden van mensen die laten zien dat verandering mogelijk is. \nMet Hans Bruintjes krijgt de Jeugd Keynote NL een nieuwe\, belangrijke stem: iemand die de ervaringen van neurodivergente mensen serieus neemt\, de systemen daarachter onderzoekt\, en zoekt naar manieren waarop beleid\, recht en samenleving menselijker kunnen worden. De Youth Keynote zal zijn premiere hebben op 16 Juni\, en de link om deze te volgen\, zal gedeeld worden op deze pagina. \nPraktische informatie\n\nEvent: Jeugd Keynote NL\nSpreker: Hans Bruintjes\nDatum: dinsdag 16 juni 2026\nTijd: 13:00 / Nederlandse tijdzone\nLocatie: online\, de link naar de talk zal op deze pagina gedeeld worden.\nTaal: Nederlands\nOnderdeel van: Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 – Nederland\n\n \n\n\nOver Hans Bruintjes\nHans Bruintjes is juridisch- en beleidsonderzoeker en adviseur met een specialisatie in recht\, neurodiversiteit en inclusie. Hij houdt zich bezig met onderzoek\, beleidsanalyse en belangenbehartiging rond discriminatie\, toegankelijkheid\, onderwijs\, arbeidsparticipatie en neurodiversiteit. \nAls Research Fellow van de Neurodiversity Foundation onderzoekt Hans de structurele en culturele voorwaarden die nodig zijn om neurodivergente mensen volwaardig te laten deelnemen aan de samenleving. Zijn werk verbindt juridische precisie met maatschappelijke betrokkenheid en ervaringskennis. \nWaarom deze keynote ertoe doet\nNeurodiversity Pride Day is een dag van trots\, zelfacceptatie\, zichtbaarheid en gemeenschap. De Jeugd Keynote NL voegt daar iets belangrijks aan toe: de blik vooruit. Wat hebben neurodivergente jongeren en jonge volwassenen nodig om niet alleen te overleven\, maar werkelijk mee te doen? Welke systemen moeten veranderen? Welke woorden\, rechten en voorbeelden hebben we nodig? \nMet Hans Bruintjes krijgt deze vraag een stem die zowel persoonlijk als maatschappelijk is\, zowel onderzoekend als hoopvol\, en zowel kritisch als gericht op oplossingen. \nLuister mee op 16 juni\, en vier Neurodiversity Pride Day op jouw eigen manier. \n

SUMMARY:Neurodiversiteitsrede 20226 |  Chella Valkering | National Keynote on Neurodiversity for the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Dinsdag 16 juni 2026 | 11.00 uur CEST / Nederlandse tijd | Online \nTaal: Nederlands \nVoor de Nederlandse editie van Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 verwelkomen we Chella Valkering als spreker van de jaarlijkse Neurodiversiteitsrede. \nDe Neurodiversiteitsrede is een moment op Neurodiversity Pride Day waarop we ruimte maken voor een pionier uit de neurodivergente gemeenschap: iemand die woorden geeft aan wat er leeft\, wat er schuurt\, wat er mogelijk wordt\, en wat we als samenleving beter mogen leren zien. In het verleden zijn er sprekers geweest als Jelle van Dijk\, Nico Baken\, Tjerk Feitsma\, Suzanne Rouwhorst\, Stephanie Raber\, Faith Bruyning en Samatha Stein. \nIn 2026 wordt deze rede “Het Kantelpunt” uitgesproken door Chella Valkering\, oprichter van Gek Genoeg. Met Gek Genoeg zet zij zich in om schadelijk stigma te doorbreken en neurodiversiteit de norm te maken. Haar werk richt zich op een samenleving waarin neurodivergente mensen niet steeds opnieuw hoeven te bewijzen\, verbergen of uitleggen wie zij zijn\, maar kunnen meedoen op een manier die past. \n \nChella brengt een stem die helder\, menselijk en dichtbij is\, maar ook ‘meters maakt’. Ze schrijft\, verbindt\, onderzoekt en benoemt. Vanuit haar eigen ervaring als laat gediagnostiseerde autist weet ze hoe stigma\, onbegrip en een neurotypische norm mensen kunnen vastzetten. Juist daarom maakt zij ruimte voor herkenning\, taal\, nuance en nieuwe beelden van wat neurodivergent leven kan zijn. \nMet Gek Genoeg groeide Chella in korte tijd uit tot een belangrijke nieuwe stem binnen het Nederlandse neurodiversiteitsveld. Niet door hard te roepen\, maar door zorgvuldig te luisteren\, verhalen zichtbaar te maken\, taal te verbeteren en vragen te stellen die nodig zijn. Haar werk raakt aan zorg\, werk\, communicatie\, media\, zelfbegrip en de manier waarop we als samenleving omgaan met bijzondere breinen. \nWe …..weten nog niet precies waar Chella in haar Neurodiversiteitsrede over zal spreken. En dat is misschien juist passend. Een goede rede is geen productomschrijving\, maar een uitnodiging om te luisteren. Op 16 juni geeft Chella haar woorden aan de Nederlandse neurodivergente gemeenschap\, en aan iedereen die mee wil bouwen aan een samenleving waarin neurodiversiteit niet langer uitzondering is\, maar onderdeel van het geheel. \nPraktische informatie\n\nEvent: Neurodiversiteitsrede NL\nSpreker: Chella Valkering\nDatum: dinsdag 16 juni 2026\nTijd: 11.00 uur CEST / Nederlandse tijd\nLocatie: online\, de link zal op deze pagina toegevoegd worden.\nTaal: Nederlands\nOnderdeel van: Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 – Nederland\n\nOver Chella Valkering\nChella Valkering is oprichter van Gek Genoeg\, communicatiespecialist\, schrijver en consultant. Met haar platform werkt zij aan het doorbreken van schadelijk stigma en het versnellen van de transitie naar een neuro-inclusieve samenleving. \nHaar werk vertrekt vanuit de overtuiging dat neurodivergente mensen niet het probleem zijn\, maar dat veel problemen ontstaan wanneer mensen moeten functioneren in systemen die niet op hun brein zijn afgestemd. Door verhalen\, kennis\, communicatie en samenwerking maakt Chella ruimte voor meer begrip\, meer eerlijkheid en meer menselijkheid. \nWaarom deze rede ertoe doet\nNeurodiversity Pride Day is een dag van trots\, zelfacceptatie\, zichtbaarheid en gemeenschap. De Nederlandse Neurodiversiteitsrede is een moment om stil te staan bij waar we vandaan komen\, waar we nu staan\, en welke woorden we nodig hebben om verder te komen. Deze traditie is in Nederland begonnen\, maar word nu in vele landen gedaan. Met Chella Valkering krijgt de Neurodiversiteitsrede NL een warme\, scherpe en oprechte stem: iemand die niet alleen spreekt over neurodiversiteit\, maar midden in de beweging staat. \nLuister mee op 16 juni om 11.00 uur\, de link zal op deze pagina gedeeld worden\, en….. vier Neurodiversity Pride Day op jouw eigen manier. \n

SUMMARY:International Keynotes: Emma McNally
DESCRIPTION:Main International Keynote #1: Emma McNally – “Breaking the Shame in a Imperfect World”\nAnnual tradition of Neurodiversity Pride Day \nWe are honoured to welcome Emma McNally as one of the two main international keynote speakers for Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026. Each year we invite 2 daring pioneers to share their message with the neurodivergent community. See the video at the bottom of this event post. For earlier keynotes\, you can watch some of the best ones on the Replay page. \nEmma McNally is the CEO of Tourettes Action\, a keynote speaker\, neurodiversity educator\, storyteller and author. Through her leadership\, advocacy and public voice\, Emma has helped bring greater visibility to Tourette Syndrome\, challenge harmful misconceptions\, and strengthen the call for better understanding\, diagnosis\, treatment and support. For the first time\, a representative of the Tourettian peoples\, are asked for the “main”. Emma is a compassionate hero\, and her voice and message\, have gotten to be particularly important this year. \nEmma’s work speaks strongly to the spirit of Neurodiversity Pride Day: moving away from shame\, mockery\, isolation and misunderstanding\, and toward dignity\, recognition\, community and care. In a world where many people with Tourette Syndrome and other neurodivergent experiences are still misrepresented or treated as a punchline\, Emma’s voice helps remind us that education\, compassion and acceptance are not soft ideas – they are necessary forms of social change. \nAcross her public work\, Emma invites people to look beyond stereotypes and to understand the real lives\, strengths\, challenges and humanity of people with Tourette Syndrome. Her work resonates with the wider purpose of Neurodiversity Pride Day: creating a world where neurodivergent people do not have to hide\, shrink themselves\, or carry the burden of other people’s ignorance. \nThis keynote is a annual part of the global Neurodiversity Pride Day programme: a celebration created by and for neurodivergent people\, and joined by allies\, organisations\, schools\, workplaces\, cities and communities around the world. \nJoin us for this main keynote with Emma McNally\, and be part of a global day of neurodivergent pride\, visibility and connection. The spoken language will be English. The talk will premiere on this page at exactly 10.00 CEST June 16th. If you cannot ‘start the video’ it means the event has not started yet.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Breinmeesterschap Try-out
DESCRIPTION:Monday 15 June 2026 | 19:00 – 19:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: Dutch \nBreinmeesterschap Try-out is a free online webinar by Linsey Berkhout and Frank Jonker\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on ND Pride. \nIn this live try-out\, participants experience part of the Breinmeesterschap programme through group exercises and self-reflection. The session offers a practical introduction to how people can better understand their own brain patterns and use that insight in collaboration with others. \nThe webinar focuses on direct experience rather than only theory. Through a core exercise from the programme\, participants are invited to reflect on their own ways of thinking\, responding\, working and interacting. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because neuroinclusion is not only about knowing that different brains exist. It is also about learning how different brains work together\, how collective intelligence can be unlocked\, and how people can create work environments that make more room for cognitive diversity. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Breinmeesterschap Try-out\nDate: Monday 15 June 2026\nTime: 19:00 – 19:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: Dutch\nSpeakers: Linsey Berkhout & Frank Jonker\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\n \nWhat to expect\n\nA live experience of a core exercise from the Breinmeesterschap programme\nSelf-reflection on your own brain patterns\nGroup exercises connected to neurodiversity and collaboration\nInsight into how the programme aims to unlock collective intelligence\nA practical and interactive session for people interested in brain-friendly working\n\nView the webinar week and registration information here

SUMMARY:Webinar: The essentials of Psychological Safety in teams
DESCRIPTION:Monday 15 June 2026 | 11:00 – 11:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: English \nThe essentials of Psychological Safety in teams is a free online webinar by Geertruyt Stokes\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on ND Pride. \nThis session explores psychological safety in teams and asks how people can collaborate more effectively when different brains\, communication styles and working preferences come together. The central idea is that radical clarity can be one of the highest forms of empathy and safety. \nThe webinar looks at the roots of collaboration friction in mixed teams. Rather than softening every message or avoiding difficult conversations\, it focuses on how clarity\, honesty and structure can help people understand each other better and work together with less confusion. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because psychological safety is essential for neuroinclusive workplaces. Neurodivergent people cannot truly thrive in teams where they have to guess expectations\, hide confusion\, mask discomfort\, or fear being misunderstood when they communicate differently. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: The essentials of Psychological Safety in teams\nDate: Monday 15 June 2026\nTime: 11:00 – 11:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: English\nSpeaker: Geertruyt Stokes\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nAn introduction to the essentials of psychological safety in teams\nReflection on why radical clarity can create more safety than soft language\nInsight into the root causes of collaboration friction in mixed teams\nThree concrete moves to raise psychological safety this week\nA practical workplace session for teams that want to collaborate with more trust\, clarity and inclusion\n\nView the webinar week and registration information here

The webinar focuses on recognising your own patterns\, understanding what drains your energy\, and learning how to use your strengths more consciously in a dynamic work context. \nThe session invites participants to discover more of their own “brain manual”: what helps you focus\, what costs energy\, what your strongest qualities are\, and how you can communicate those strengths more clearly to others. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride also begins with self-understanding. For neurodivergent people\, learning how your own brain works can be an important step toward less shame\, stronger boundaries\, more effective collaboration and more sustainable participation at work. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Navigate the strengths and challenges of your unique brain\nDate: Monday 15 June 2026\nTime: 10:00 – 10:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: English\nSpeaker: Pauline Alberts\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nPractical insights from neurodiversity trainer and coach Pauline Alberts\nWays to identify and redirect your personal energy drains\nReflection on your own energy management and how to navigate it effectively\nGuidance on recognising and communicating your unique strengths\nImmediately applicable strategies to thrive within a dynamic context\n\nView the webinar week and registration information here

SUMMARY:Martijn Dekker - Community Keynote - Neurodiversity through the years
DESCRIPTION:Community Keynote: Neurodiversity Through the Years – Martijn Dekker\nOnline | Part of Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026 |  Language: English \nNeurodiversity Through the Years is a community keynote by Martijn Dekker\, one of the early voices connected to the online autistic community and the history of the neurodiversity movement. \nThis keynote invites us to look back\, not with nostalgia alone\, but with attention. Neurodiversity did not appear suddenly as a workplace trend\, a social media phrase\, or a policy term. It grew through people finding each other\, naming their experiences\, building communities\, challenging dominant ideas about normality\, and insisting that neurodivergent people should be heard on their own terms. \nMartijn Dekker has been part of that longer history. In 1996\, he founded Independent Living on the Autistic Spectrum\, often known as InLv\, an early online space created by and for autistic people. At a time when autistic people were still very often spoken about rather than listened to\, communities like InLv helped make something else possible: autistic people speaking with each other\, developing shared language\, building culture\, exchanging support\, and shaping ideas that would later become central to neurodiversity advocacy. \nIn this community keynote\, Martijn will reflect on neurodiversity through the years: how ideas have developed\, how communities have changed\, what has been gained\, what has been misunderstood\, and what should not be forgotten as neurodiversity becomes more widely known. \nThis event connects deeply with Neurodiversity Pride Day because pride has roots. It is built on decades of community work\, self-advocacy\, shared language\, resistance\, friendship and imagination. To celebrate neurodivergent pride today\, we also honour the people and communities who helped create the conditions for that pride to be spoken aloud. \nNeurodiversity Through the Years is an invitation to listen to someone who has witnessed and contributed to the movement across many stages of its development. It is a moment to understand where we come from\, so we can think more clearly about where we are going. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Community Keynote: Neurodiversity Through the Years\nSpeaker: Martijn Dekker\nDate: June 16th\nTime: Officially 17.00\, but the video is made public allready.\nLocation: online\nLanguage: English\nFormat: community keynote\n\nAbout Martijn Dekker\nMartijn Dekker is a Dutch autistic community pioneer\, speaker and writer whose work is closely connected to the early online history of autistic self-advocacy. In 1996\, he founded Independent Living on the Autistic Spectrum\, an autistic-run online community that became part of the wider history of autistic culture and the neurodiversity movement. \nHis work has explored autistic identity\, autistic culture\, independent living\, inclusion\, and the ways autistic people have built community and language over time. Through this keynote\, Martijn brings a historical and community-rooted perspective to Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nWhat to expect\n\nA community keynote on the history and development of neurodiversity\nReflections from one of the early online autistic community builders\nAttention to autistic self-advocacy\, community\, language and culture\nA look at how neurodiversity has changed over time\nA reminder that today’s pride stands on decades of shared work and community courage\n\nThis keynote may be especially relevant for neurodivergent people\, autistic community members\, advocates\, researchers\, educators\, historians of disability movements\, allies\, and anyone who wants to understand the deeper roots of Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nJoin this community keynote and reflect on the years\, voices and communities that helped shape the neurodiversity movement we know today.

SUMMARY:Neurodance Preparty
DESCRIPTION:Neurodance Preparty – Moonwyrm on Twitch\nSunday 14 June 2026 | 2:00-4:00 PM Central US time / 21:00-23:00 CEST | Online: \nJoin the Neurodance Preparty here \nLanguage: Mostly music; chat language may vary \nNeurodance Preparty is a two-hour online music session with Moonwyrm\, streamed live on Twitch as part of the build-up to Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026. \nThis preparty is a smaller\, simpler version of the World Neurodance: one DJ\, one Twitch channel\, two hours of music\, movement and neurodivergent joy. It is a chance to warm up for ND Pride Week\, test the stream together\, and enjoy a shared online dance moment before the full Neurodance World DJ Marathon begins on Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nNeurodance is about dancing in your own way. You can dance wildly\, gently\, visibly\, quietly\, with others\, alone in your room\, seated\, stimming\, listening\, resting\, or simply being present with the music. There is no correct way to join. The point is not performance. The point is connection\, rhythm\, movement\, joy and the freedom to celebrate neurodivergent pride in a way that fits your body and your brain. \nThis preparty is also a live technical test for the official Neurodance page. During the session\, visitors can try the embedded Twitch player\, the chat preview\, the readable chat popout\, and the scroll-safe mini-player. If everything works well during this preparty\, the same setup will support the full Neurodance World DJ Marathon. \nMoonwyrm has played an important role in growing Neurodance into a global online celebration. Since 2023\, Moonwyrm\, together with Sir_no0ob and the Wyrmling community\, has helped shape the ND Pride Raid Train into a joyful international gathering of neurodivergent DJs\, dancers and listeners across time zones. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Day because pride does not always need a stage or a speech. Sometimes pride is music. Sometimes it is movement. Sometimes it is letting your body respond in the way it wants to. Sometimes it is joining a chat\, opening a stream\, or dancing privately while knowing that others around the world are celebrating too. \nProgramme\n\n14 June 2026: Neurodance Preparty\nDuration: 2-hour Twitch set\nDJ / channel: Moonwyrm\nFormat: live online music stream with Twitch chat\n\nTimezone guide\n\nCentral US time / CDT: Sunday 14 June\, 2:00-4:00 PM\nUTC: Sunday 14 June\, 19:00-21:00\nAmsterdam / CEST: Sunday 14 June\, 21:00-23:00\nNew York / EDT: Sunday 14 June\, 3:00-5:00 PM\nKyiv / EEST: Sunday 14 June\, 22:00-00:00\nHong Kong / HKT: Monday 15 June\, 03:00-05:00\nAuckland / NZST: Monday 15 June\, 07:00-09:00\n\nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neurodance Preparty\nDJ / streamer: Moonwyrm\nDate: Sunday 14 June 2026\nTime: 2:00-4:00 PM Central US time / 21:00-23:00 CEST\nLocation: online\nPlatform: Twitch\nChannel: @moonwyrm\nPart of: Neurodance / Neurodiversity Pride Day 2026\nOrganiser: Neurodiversity Pride Day / Neurodance team\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA two-hour online Neurodance preparty with Moonwyrm\nMusic\, movement\, chat and neurodivergent joy\nA low-pressure way to join from home\, alone or with others\nA chance to test the Twitch player\, chat popout and mini-player setup\nA warm-up moment before the full World Neurodance 2026 programme\nFreedom to dance\, stim\, listen\, rest or participate in your own way\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for neurodivergent people\, Twitch communities\, music lovers\, dancers\, stimmers\, gamers\, ND Pride supporters\, and anyone looking for an online\, movement-based way to warm up for Neurodiversity Pride Day. \nJoin the Neurodance Preparty here \nVisit the World Neurodance 2026 page here

SUMMARY:Queer ADHD Café
DESCRIPTION:Sunday 14 June 2026 | Amsterdam | CEST / Amsterdam time \nQueer ADHD Café is a low-threshold community meetup for queer people with ADHD or ADD\, and for people who think they may have ADHD. It offers a safe\, informal and welcoming space to meet others\, exchange experiences\, share tips\, have a coffee\, and talk about everyday life with ADHD. \nThe group is created for LGBTQIA+ people who want to connect around ADHD in a relaxed way. You do not need a formal diagnosis to join. If you recognise yourself in ADHD experiences\, are exploring whether ADHD may be part of your life\, or simply want to be in a space with others who understand the overlap between queerness and neurodivergence\, you are welcome. \nFor many people\, both queer identity and ADHD can come with experiences of masking\, misunderstanding\, self-questioning\, rejection or having to explain yourself too often. A space like Queer ADHD Café can offer something simple but powerful: recognition. The feeling that you do not have to translate yourself first before you are allowed to belong. \nThis meetup connects strongly with the spirit of Neurodiversity Pride Week because it brings together neurodivergent community\, queer belonging\, self-acceptance and peer support. It is not a formal lecture or clinical support space\, but a community gathering where people can talk\, listen\, laugh\, share\, or simply be present in their own way. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Queer ADHD Café\nDate: Sunday 14 June 2026\nTime: to be confirmed by the organiser\nLocation: Amsterdam\, exact location to be confirmed\nTime zone: CEST / Amsterdam time\nOrganiser: Queer ADHD Café / Queer ADHD Collective Amsterdam\nAudience: LGBTQIA+ people with ADHD or ADD\, people exploring ADHD\, and queer neurodivergent community members\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA relaxed meetup for queer people with ADHD or ADD\nA safe and informal space to exchange experiences\nConversation\, coffee\, connection and peer recognition\nNo need for a formal diagnosis\nA community setting rather than a medical or therapy space\nRoom to join in at your own pace\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in ADHD\, queer community\, neurodivergent peer support\, intersectional pride\, self-acceptance\, and local community spaces where people can show up without needing to mask or explain every part of themselves. \nView the Queer ADHD Café Meetup group here \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community. The event is organised independently and may not be exclusively created for ND Pride.

SUMMARY:The Big Autism Festival | Het grote autismefestival
DESCRIPTION:Vrijdag 12 juni 2026 | 16.00 – 22.00 uur CEST / Amsterdam time | Pakhuis de Zwijger\, Amsterdam \nTaal: Nederlands \nHet grote autismefestival is een middag en avond over autisme\, neurodiversiteit\, werk\, seksualiteit\, boeken\, kunst\, muziek\, comedy en persoonlijke verhalen. Het festival wordt georganiseerd door Erik Jan Harmens en OvG Management\, en vindt plaats in Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. \nHet festival noemt zichzelf een festival voor mensen die eigenlijk niet van festivals houden. Dat past bij de toon van de dag: rijk aan inhoud\, maar behapbaar; met gesprekken en verhalen vanuit het autistisch spectrum en alles daaromheen. \nIn het middagprogramma zijn er panelgesprekken over autisme en werk en autisme en seksualiteit. Ook wordt de korte film Mind My Mind van Floor Adams vertoond. Sprekers en gasten zijn onder anderen belangrijke neurodiversiteitssprekers als Marije Pietersma\, Hilde Geurts\, Thijs van der Rol en Rosalie Ekstein\, evenals andere bijdragers als Marjolein van Mierlo\, Bijan Tajik\, Jessica Slijpen\, Cor Jongejeugd\, Yanaika Zomer en Kelvin Voskuijl. \nNa het middagprogramma is er tussen 18.00 en 20.00 uur pauze. Bezoekers kunnen rustig eten in het restaurant van Pakhuis de Zwijger. Ook is er een leessalon ingericht met boeken van autistische schrijvers\, en een boekenkraam waar boeken gekocht en gesigneerd kunnen worden. Tijdens het festival is bovendien werk te zien van kunstenaar Lionel Plak. \nHet avondprogramma begint om 20.00 uur in de Grote Zaal. De avond bevat muziek\, poëzie\, gesprekken\, literatuur\, comedy en kunst. Johanneke ter Stege opent en sluit met zachte\, prikkelarme luisterliedjes. Erik Jan Harmens leest voor uit Het grote autismeboek en gaat onder meer in gesprek met Hilde Geurts over haar boek Alles wat we (willen) weten over verouderen met autisme. Verder zijn er bijdragen van Julian Harmens\, Niels Springveld\, Fabian Franciscus\, Chanel Matil Lodik\, Maaike Helmer\, Isabelle la Poutré en Lionel Plak. \nDit event is onafhankelijk georganiseerd door Jan Harmen\, maar sluit goed aan bij Neurodiversity Pride Week\, omdat het ruimte maakt voor autistische stemmen\, ervaringen\, humor\, kunst\, literatuur\, onderzoek en gesprek. Het is geen medische of afstandelijke bespreking van autisme\, maar een culturele en menselijke bijeenkomst waarin autistische mensen\, makers\, denkers en ervaringsdeskundigen zelf zichtbaar zijn. \nPraktische informatie\n\nEvent: Het grote autismefestival\nDatum: vrijdag 12 juni 2026\nTijd: 16.00 – 22.00 uur CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocatie: Pakhuis de Zwijger\nAdres: Piet Heinkade 179\, 1019 HC Amsterdam\nTaal: Nederlands\nOrganisatie: Erik Jan Harmens en OvG Management\nMiddagprogramma: 16.00 – 18.00 uur\, IJzaal\nPauze / eten / leessalon / expositie: 18.00 – 20.00 uur\nAvondprogramma: 20.00 – 22.00 uur\, Grote Zaal\nNa afloop: borrel en napraten\n\nTicketinformatie\n\nMiddagprogramma: gratis\, wel reserveren\nLeessalon en expositie: gratis\nAvondprogramma: € 7\,50\nDiner: niet inbegrepen; bezoekers kunnen zelf reserveren bij het restaurant van Pakhuis de Zwijger\n\nProgramma-overzicht\n\n16.00: welkom door Erik Jan Harmens\n16.05: gesprek over autisme op het werk met Marije Pietersma\n16.15: aansluitend gesprek over autisme op het werk met Hilde Geurts\, Marjolein van Mierlo\, Thijs van der Rol en Bijan Tajik\n16.40: introductie van de film Mind My Mind\n16.45 – 17.15: vertoning van Mind My Mind van Floor Adams\n17.15: gesprek over autisme en seksualiteit met Jessica Slijpen\n17.30: gesprek met Rosalie Ekstein en Cor Jongejeugd\n17.45: Yanaika Zomer in gesprek met Kelvin Voskuijl\n17.55: afsluiting middagprogramma\n18.00 – 20.00: pauze\, eten\, leessalon\, boekenkraam en expositie\n20.00: start avondprogramma met Johanneke ter Stege\n20.05: Erik Jan Harmens en Hilde Geurts\n20.20: poëzie en spoken word met Julian Harmens en andere dichters/spoken word autists\n20.35: gesprek met Niels Springveld over Autisme.

SUMMARY:Release Neurodiversity Deepdive Podcast
DESCRIPTION:Podcast Release: Neurodiversity Deepdive\nNow available on Spotify | Part of Neurodiversity Pride Week \nWe are excited to share the release of Neurodiversity Deepdive\, a new podcast by the Neurodiversity Foundation\, now available on Spotify. We’ve never shared about it\, but it’s allready ranked in the top 15 worldwide in the field of neurodiversity podcasts\, as we’ve created more than 100 podcasts for the public. \nNeurodiversity Deepdive is a growing audio library for everyone who wants to learn more about neurodiversity through books\, ideas\, lived experience\, research\, and community knowledge. In this podcast\, the Neurodiversity Foundation summarizes and explores around 125 books about neurodiversity\, making important insights more accessible to listeners around the world\, as seen through our neurodignity lens. In a world\, where we stopped reading what needs to be read\, the podcasts are conversations between 2 people resembling our neurodivergent teammembers at the HQ. \nThe podcast was created initially for internal volunteers to train themselves of the works of the most important authors in the field\, but will now be shared as a gift to the world\, for Peace & Soldarity Day. Its valuable for neurodivergent people\, allies\, educators\, professionals\, researchers\, parents\, students\, organisations\, and everyone who wants to better understand the field of neurodiversity. Each episode offers a way into one book\, one set of ideas\, or one perspective\, helping listeners discover new authors\, deepen their understanding\, and find language for experiences that are often overlooked or misunderstood.And we will grow the books to 250\, in upcoming years. \nNeurodiversity is a wide and fast-growing field. There are books about autism\, ADHD\, dyslexia\, giftedness\, Tourette Syndrome\, dyspraxia\, dyscalculia\, sensory experience\, masking\, burnout\, education\, work\, identity\, mental health\, culture\, justice\, and pride. Many of these books are powerful\, but not everyone has the time\, energy\, money\, or access to read them all. Neurodiversity Deepdive was created to help open that knowledge up. \nThis podcast is not a replacement for reading the books themselves. It is an invitation: to discover new voices\, to learn from neurodivergent authors and thinkers\, to understand the wider movement\, and to find the books that may matter most to you. \nFor Neurodiversity Pride Week\, the release of this podcast is also a celebration of neurodivergent knowledge. Our stories\, theories\, questions\, struggles\, insights\, and ways of making meaning deserve to be heard. By collecting these summaries in one place\, we hope to support more people in learning about neurodiversity in a way that is accessible\, thoughtful\, and rooted in dignity. \nWhat to expect\n\nA podcast with around 125 summarized books about neurodiversity\nAccessible introductions to important books\, authors and ideas\nTopics including autism\, ADHD\, dyslexia\, masking\, burnout\, education\, work\, identity\, justice and pride\nThere are about 100 english language books summarized\, and about 35 dutch and flemish important books.\nContrasting remars about the works of the author\, in relation to the ideology of the Neurodiversity Foundation.\nA way to discover which books you may want to read more deeply\nWhile most parts in the production proces are done manually\, the final generation of podcast was ai-supported\, and may therefore have mistakes or misinterpretations.\nA growing resource for neurodivergent people\, allies\, educators\, professionals and organisations\nA grand plan of democratizing knowlegde and sharing the deepest wisdoms from important authors and advocates\nA link to where to buy the book\, in each description\nAnd astounding frequent use\, of some of our favorite sayings\, like ‘It Really Is”.\n\nListen on Spotify\nYou can listen to Neurodiversity Deepdive on Spotify here: \nListen to Neurodiversity Deepdive on Spotify \nEvery brain is beautiful.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Leer varen op de krachten en uitdagingen van jouw unieke brein
DESCRIPTION:Vrijdag 12 juni 2026 | 11:00 – 11:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: Dutch \nLeer varen op de krachten en uitdagingen van jouw unieke brein is a free online webinar by Linsey Berkhout\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on ND Pride. \nThis session focuses on how people can better understand their own brain and learn to work with both its strengths and its challenges. The webinar asks how you can let your brain work for you\, instead of constantly trying to force yourself into ways of working that do not fit. \nParticipants are invited to reflect on energy\, strengths\, communication and practical strategies for navigating a dynamic work context. The session is about understanding your own “manual”: what costs energy\, what gives energy\, what your strong points are\, and how you can communicate those more clearly. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride also begins with self-understanding. For neurodivergent people\, learning how your own brain works can be an important step toward less shame\, better boundaries\, more effective collaboration and more sustainable participation at work. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Leer varen op de krachten en uitdagingen van jouw unieke brein\nDate: Friday 12 June 2026\nTime: 11:00 – 11:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: Dutch\nSpeaker: Linsey Berkhout\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nInsight into recognising and redirecting personal energy drains\nReflection on your own energy management and how to navigate it more effectively\nWays to recognise and communicate your unique strengths\nPractical tips and tools for thriving in a dynamic context\nA strengths-based session about working with your brain instead of against it\n\nView the webinar week and registration information here
