Neurodiversity Pride Nigeria 2025
Welcome to Neurodiversity Pride Nigeria!
ND Pride Nigeria is made by and for all neurodivergents and their allies. Everybody, of every neurotype, is welcome to join the celebration.
Celebrate Neurodivergent Uniqueness, Celebrate Neurodiversity!
On June 16th, we celebrate the positive power of neurodiversity and embrace the differentness of neurodivergent individuals.
What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is a concept that refers to the diverse ways in which brains function, perceive, and understand the world. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and appreciating the unique strengths and abilities that arise from neurological variations.
It advocates for providing the necessary support and accommodations to neurodivergent individuals so they can thrive in a society typically tailored to the neuromajority. Autistics, ADHD individuals, gifted individuals, people with OCD, dyslexics (and many other neurodivergent groups, innate and acquired, diagnosed and self-identified) have uniquely different thinking patterns, and their diversity and individuality enrich the world in many ways. And if you are ND, there is nothing wrong with you, instead, ask yourself: Whats STRONG with you?
Celebrate neurodiversity: Celebrate your own way!
