Staff and Young People wore colourful clothing to show the colourfulness of neurodiversity and wore stickers saying “Neurodiversity is my superpower” or “I support neurodiversity”.
There was a wishing well in which everyone threw in a coin that had something they wish they knew about neurodiversity or something they wish people knew about their neurodiverse condition.
