I'm the neurodiversity (ND) rep for my kid's school Parent Association.

I asked for the christmas bazaar to open an hour early for the ND kids so they can go without queues and noise and crowds. Also setting up sensory room/quiet place for ND kids to take a break.

Such a simple request, and was so well met. I find that once I ask for reasonable accomodations and explain why, people are so happy to change tradition.

#NeurodiverseAdults know what #NeurodiverseKids need to thrive.

@niamhgarvey Amazing! I'm glad they're making the effort to accommodate and that you are able to speak up on the ND kids' behalf. I know that takes a lot!

@Twig it does but I've had no negative reactions; only thanks and delight. People want to be more inclusive, they just don't always know how.
