Neurodiversity Pride Day is the annual day of pride on June 16 celebrating all neurodivergent people, created by NDs for NDs and those allies, friends, neuroinclusive organizations and familymembers who love us.

This year, it is being celebrated for the 7th time, in twelve countries around the world.

About Neurodiversity Pride Day

The day was founded in the Netherlands and has been coordinated by the dutch 神經多樣性基金會 and supported by many non-profit organizations and neurodivergent volunteers.

Our long-term goal is to get accepted by the United Nations to become part of the World Calendar, so every neurodivergent worldwide has a official day each year to celebrate their own uniqueness with pride.

我們慶祝什麼？

The uniqueness of our neurodivergent brains and the added value of neurodiversity in society. The term neurodiversity refers to the different ways in which brains function, perceive, and understand the world. It recognizes and appreciates the strengths and abilities that arise from different neurotypes. People with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, DCD, gifted individuals, etc., all possess unique qualities and, in their diversity, make the world a better place. Additionally, it advocates for providing support and accommodations to neurodivergent individuals so they can function in a society that is tailored to the majority. Neurodiversity Pride Dayy is a beautiful, positive day where we highlight the good aspects of neurodiversity and neurodivergence. The core of the day is for neurodivergent people to take a moment to reflect positively on themselves, making it an annual tradition. Activities are organized around this core. Neurodiversity Pride Day was started in 2018 by the Neurodiversity Foundation, initiated by the neurodivergent community itself in collaboration with volunteers and supporting organizations. Over the years, the day to celebrate all neurodivergents, has grown increasingly larger, as we are getting ready for the United Nations.
