About the event
Join Aidy Smith, the world’s only global TV presenter with Tourette Syndrome along with a fantastic panel as they delve into an open, insightful, and empowering discussion exploring the deep connections between the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities. Research suggests a higher prevalence of neurodivergence among LGBTQIA+ individuals—why might this be? Is it self-awareness, or is there a deeper correlation?
We'll unpack the meaning of intersectionality, the challenges and triumphs of coming out as both ND and LGBTQIA+, and how parents can create safe, affirming spaces for their children. With shifting political landscapes, how can we protect, connect, and uplift one another? Most importantly, we'll celebrate how being both ND and LGBTQIA+ has empowered us to break boundaries, redefine success, and thrive in ways many never imagined possible.
Expect a candid, thought-provoking conversation that amplifies voices, shares lived experiences, and offers practical advice for both individuals and allies alike.
This is a free online event via Zoom.
