June 17th: Replay & Closing Day
2026-06-17 | Online
Replay & Closing Day
Wednesday 17 June 2026 | Online | Part of Neurodiversity Pride Week
Replay & 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.
After 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.
Throughout 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.
Replay & 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.
What to expect

A 24-hour online stream of ND Pride-related content
Recordings of speeches, workshops, talks and community moments
Highlights from Neurodiversity Pride Week around the world
A calmer closing space after the main Pride celebrations
A chance to discover sessions and stories you may have missed
Time to reflect on neurodivergent pride, dignity, self-acceptance and community

Who is it for?
Replay & 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.
You 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.
Closing the week, carrying it forward
Neurodiversity 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.
Every brain is beautiful. Every story matters. Every moment of pride can become part of something larger.

Main International Keynote #1: Emma McNally – “Breaking the Shame in a Imperfect World”
Annual tradition of Neurodiversity Pride Day
We 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.
Emma 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.
Emma’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.
Across 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.
This 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.
Join 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.

Tuesday 16 June 2026 | Online | Twitch / RaidPal | Part of Dancing Day & Neurodiversity Pride Day
World Neurodance is the global dancefloor of Neurodiversity Pride Day: a live online DJ marathon where neurodivergent DJs and streamers take turns across time zones, passing the rhythm from one set to the next. This year, its running 24 hours with many great neurodivergent DJs from many contininents to play their music for the world to dance to.
In Neurodance, neurodivergent people dance in any way they want to: together or solo, loudly or softly, visibly or privately, sitting down, standing up, stimming, moving, resting, listening, chatting, or simply being present with the music. There is no one “right” way to dance. The heart of Neurodance is neurodivergent joy: the freedom to experience music, rhythm and movement in the way that feels true for you.

The 2026 World Neurodance is hosted again by Moonwyrm & Friends. One DJ opens the dancefloor, then hands over to the next, creating a continuous online celebration where people can join, listen, dance, chat and connect from wherever they are. The event is streamed through Twitch, with the official programme available through RaidPal and the Neurodance page.
World Neurodance grew from the wish to make it easier for neurodivergent people to dance together online. In 2020, ND DJs began streaming live dance music so people could still share music and movement across distance. In 2023, DJ Moonwyrm, supported by DJ Sir_no0ob and Wyrmling friends, helped grow this into a 24-hour ND Pride Raid Train with DJs and dancers across continents. Since then, World Neurodance has become one of the joyful online rituals of Neurodiversity Pride Day. Friends, don’t forget to dance today!
Starting time in different time zones
The Neurodance marathon starts on Tuesday 16 June 2026 at 04:00 UTC. Depending on where you are in the world, this may be on the evening before, early morning, afternoon, or the next day.
