Neurodiversity Celebration Week: Celebrating Different Minds

Held from 17 to 23 March 2025, Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the talents of neurodiverse minds. Come together and help shape a world that understands the benefit of empowering different ways of thinking. By recognising and celebrating the strengths of neurodiversity, we can start shifting the way neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported. 

Our neurodiversity speakers at ICMI can help by challenging misconceptions about neurological differences and showing you how empowering neurodivergent people in our workplaces, schools and community can have enormous benefits for everyone. 

 

Mike Knapp

Discover how neurodiversity helped shape Mike Knapp into a leader in tech. It’s a superpower that led him to find innovations not immediately obvious to others while fueling his creativity and problem-solving skills. ADHD and autism is a “superpower” for Mike, shaping him into the successful serial entrepreneur and founder he is today. It’s a lesson he’s happy to share with businesses, showcasing how neurodiversity can drive success and maximise everyone’s unique contributions.
