This month, we’re gearing up for ND Celebration Week (March 17–23), a time to honor the strength and resilience of the neurodiverse community. A special highlight will be Phil Hanley’s Spellbound book launch event on March 19 in San Francisco—an evening of storytelling, connection, and celebration of neurodivergent voices. Tickets are still available!
We’re also excited to celebrate our community’s creativity with a t-shirt design contest during ND Celebration Week! We invite young people to design t-shirts that promote learning differences, self-advocacy, and inclusion. This fun competition is a great way to spread awareness, win prizes, and be featured on our platforms.
