SUMMARY:Neurodivergence in the Workplace Scotland Conference
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 16 June 2026 | 10:00 – 15:30 BST / Edinburgh time | Edinburgh\, Scotland \nNeurodivergence in the Workplace Scotland Conference is a one-day\, in-person conference organised by Holyrood Insight\, bringing together employers\, HR professionals\, managers\, diversity and inclusion leads\, and workplace decision-makers to explore how organisations can become more neuroinclusive. \nThe conference takes place on Neurodiversity Pride Day\, making it a strong contribution to the wider conversation about neurodivergent visibility\, dignity and participation. Its focus is practical: how workplaces can move beyond awareness and create cultures\, policies and structures where neurodivergent employees feel valued\, supported and able to thrive. \nThe programme highlights Scottish organisations and experts working on supportive structures\, inclusive recruitment\, reasonable adjustments\, workplace culture\, staff wellbeing\, disclosure\, progression and the legal duties of employers. It also asks how workplaces can reframe neurodivergence: not as a problem to be managed\, but as part of the diversity of human thinking\, talent and creativity. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Week because work is one of the places where neurodivergent people are often asked to mask\, adapt or fit into systems not designed for them. A more neuroinclusive workplace is not only about compliance; it is about belonging\, psychological safety\, accessibility\, and recognising the value of different ways of thinking and working. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neurodivergence in the Workplace Scotland Conference\nDate: Tuesday 16 June 2026\nTime: 10:00 – 15:30 BST / Edinburgh time\nRegistration: from 09:30\nLocation: COSLA Conference Centre\nAddress: Haymarket Yards\, Edinburgh\, Scotland\, United Kingdom\nFormat: in-person conference\nOrganiser: Holyrood Insight\nAudience: HR professionals\, diversity and inclusion leads\, managers\, directors\, team leaders\, supervisors\, trade union representatives and workplace decision-makers\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA Scotland-focused conference on neurodivergence in the workplace\nPractical guidance on creating neuroinclusive workplace cultures\nSessions on recruitment\, onboarding\, retention and progression\nDiscussion of reasonable adjustments and employer responsibilities\nAttention to diagnosis\, disclosure\, workplace masking and lived experience\nExamples from Scottish organisations working to support neurodivergent employees\nFace-to-face networking with colleagues across sectors\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people working in HR\, DEI\, recruitment\, management\, organisational development\, employment policy\, disability inclusion\, staff networks\, workplace wellbeing\, and leadership roles where practical neuroinclusion matters. \nView the event and registration information here \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:ADHD and Confidence Support Group with Helen Unwin
DESCRIPTION:Monday 15 June 2026 | 13:00 – 14:30 BST / London time | Online \nADHD and Confidence Support Group with Helen Unwin is an online support group hosted by ADHD UK\, focused on ADHD\, confidence\, self-belief and the process of recognising your own strengths. \nThe session invites participants to share learning\, support each other\, and explore what confidence can mean for ADHD people. The group is hosted with Helen Unwin\, a confidence coach who helps people get back in control of their lives\, recognise their own strengths\, and set themselves up for success. \nFor many ADHD people\, confidence can be shaped by years of misunderstanding\, criticism\, masking\, missed support\, inconsistent performance\, or being told that they are “too much\,” “not trying hard enough\,” or “not living up to their potential.” A space like this can help people reflect on those experiences with more compassion\, while also building practical ways to recognise strengths and move forward. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride is not only about public visibility. It is also about rebuilding self-trust\, unlearning shame\, finding language for your own experiences\, and being in spaces where ADHD people can be understood without needing to over-explain themselves. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: ADHD and Confidence Support Group with Helen Unwin\nDate: Monday 15 June 2026\nTime: 13:00 – 14:30 BST / London time\nLocation: Online virtual event\nOrganiser: ADHD UK\nHost: Helen Unwin\nCost: donation-based ticket\, with a suggested donation of £5\nAudience: ADHD people\, people exploring ADHD\, supporters\, family members\, professionals and community members interested in confidence and ADHD\n\nWhat to expect\n\nAn online ADHD support group focused on confidence\nA space to share learning and support each other\nGuidance from confidence coach Helen Unwin\nReflection on strengths\, self-belief and getting back in control\nA supportive community setting for people with ADHD-related experiences\nA donation-based ticket model\, with access options for people who cannot donate\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in ADHD\, confidence\, self-worth\, adult diagnosis\, emotional wellbeing\, self-advocacy\, masking\, shame\, and the process of recognising your own strengths after years of being misunderstood. \nView the event and registration information here \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community.

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:Drop-in Advice Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in Advice Clinic with Henry Shelford\nFriday 12 June 2026 | 13:00 – 14:00 BST / London time | Online \nThe Drop-in Advice Clinic with Henry Shelford is a virtual community advice room hosted by Henry Shelford\, ADHD UK Chairperson and Co-Founder. This informal online session offers people the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance around ADHD\, diagnosis pathways\, support systems and everyday challenges. \nThe clinic is designed as a practical\, approachable space for people looking for information about ADHD assessments\, UK diagnosis routes\, NHS ADHD processes\, ADHD understanding and knowledge\, and corporate or employment-related advice. It may be especially useful for people who are newly exploring ADHD\, waiting for assessment\, navigating support options\, or trying to understand what next steps may be available. \nFor many ADHD people and families\, finding clear information can be difficult. Questions about diagnosis\, waiting lists\, workplace support\, access to care\, and what ADHD means in daily life can become overwhelming\, especially when systems are confusing or slow. A drop-in advice clinic can offer a more human and direct way to ask questions\, learn from lived and professional knowledge\, and feel less alone in the process. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because pride is not only about celebration. It is also about access to understanding\, support\, self-knowledge\, community guidance and the right to navigate life without shame. Spaces like this can help people move from confusion or isolation toward clarity\, confidence and connection. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Drop-in Advice Clinic with Henry Shelford\nDate: Friday 12 June 2026\nTime: 13:00 – 14:00 BST / London time\nLocation: Online virtual room\nOrganiser: ADHD UK\nHost: Henry Shelford\, ADHD UK Chairperson and Co-Founder\nAudience: ADHD people\, people exploring ADHD\, family members\, supporters\, employers\, professionals and community members seeking practical guidance\n\nWhat to expect\n\nAn informal virtual drop-in advice clinic\nGuidance around ADHD assessments and UK diagnosis routes\nInformation about NHS ADHD processes\nSpace for questions about ADHD understanding and knowledge\nAdvice connected to employment\, workplace and corporate contexts\nA community-oriented space for people seeking practical next steps\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in ADHD support\, diagnosis pathways\, adult ADHD\, workplace inclusion\, family guidance\, and practical community advice during Neurodiversity Pride Week. \nView ADHD UK events and booking information here \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme by the community.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Pride Day - University of Bedfordshire
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 16 June 2026 | University of Bedfordshire | United Kingdom \nLanguage: English \nNeurodiversity Pride Day – University of Bedfordshire is a Neurodiversity Pride Day event bringing together academic\, workplace and lived-experience perspectives to explore how more inclusive environments can be built for neurodivergent people. \nThe event creates space for conversation about neuroinclusion\, accessibility\, leadership\, customer experience and the everyday systems that shape whether neurodivergent people feel understood\, supported and respected. \nOne of the contributors is Isabella Hedges\, representing Metro Bank UK. Isabella will share from her experience and passion for inclusion\, with a focus on how organisations can support both customers and colleagues in more thoughtful\, accessible and human ways. \nThis event connects strongly with Neurodiversity Pride Day because inclusion is not only a principle or policy. It is something people feel in the way services are designed\, how colleagues communicate\, how customers are supported\, and how organisations respond to different needs without judgement or unnecessary barriers. \nMany neurodivergent people encounter barriers in everyday systems: banking\, education\, healthcare\, employment\, public services and digital platforms. A conversation about corporate and customer inclusion can help organisations ask better questions: Who is expected to adapt? Whose needs are anticipated? Which processes create unnecessary stress? And what would it mean to design services and workplaces where more people feel they belong? \nBy bringing together university\, workplace and lived-experience perspectives\, this event contributes to the wider Neurodiversity Pride Day movement: a movement rooted in dignity\, self-acceptance\, practical change and the recognition that different minds should not have to be hidden\, corrected or excluded in order to participate. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: Neurodiversity Pride Day – University of Bedfordshire\nDate: Tuesday 16 June 2026\nTime: to be confirmed via the Eventbrite registration page\nLocation: University of Bedfordshire\, United Kingdom\nTime zone: BST / UK time\nLanguage: English\nContributor: Isabella Hedges\nOrganisation represented: Metro Bank UK\nAudience: students\, staff\, neurodivergent people\, allies\, workplace inclusion teams\, accessibility professionals\, customer inclusion professionals\, service designers\, leaders and community members\n\nWhat to expect\n\nA Neurodiversity Pride Day event at the University of Bedfordshire\nPerspectives from academic\, workplace and lived-experience contexts\nDiscussion of neuroinclusion\, accessibility and inclusive environments\nInsights connected to customer and colleague inclusion\nA contribution from Isabella Hedges\, representing Metro Bank UK\nA space to reflect on how organisations can better support neurodivergent people in practice\n\nThis event may be especially relevant for people interested in neurodiversity\, accessibility\, workplace inclusion\, customer experience\, inclusive leadership\, service design\, higher education\, banking and financial services inclusion\, and the practical changes organisations can make so neurodivergent people feel recognised and supported. \nView the Eventbrite registration page here \nThis event has been suggested as a relevant contribution to the Neurodiversity Pride Week programme and is organised independently.
