On the final day of Neurodiversity week, we wanted to mark it by celebrating the Neurodiverse community and the differences in our society.

As a society we are moving forward with celebrating and embracing all differences and making adjustments to embrace our Neurodiverse community and as a firm we welcome this change.

There are a number of famous individuals who have confirmed they are Neurodiverse and have acted as wonderful role models for others;

  • Steve Jobs
  • Bill Gates
  • Emma Watson
  • Emily Dickinson
  • Albert Einstein
  • Sir Anthony Hopkins
  • Sir Richard Branson
  • Daniel Ratcliffe
  • Greta Thunberg
  • Issac Newton
  • Lewis Carroll
  • Jamie Oliver
  • Zoe Ball
  • Simone Biles
  • Kerry Magro (Author) wrote that ‘Autism is not a tragedy. Ignorance is the tragedy.’
  • Temple Grandin (American Academic and Author) wrote about Neurodiversity that it is ‘different, not less.’
  • Sir Anthony Hopkins said of himself, ‘My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier’
