Neurodifference slideshows ↓
Understand the difference.
What is ADHD? What is autism? What is dyslexia?
Sometimes the best place to begin is with a clear explanation.
Our short visual slideshows introduce different neurodifferences in an accessible, neuroaffirming way.
Each one explores what the neurodifference is, some of the ways it may be experienced and why individual experiences can differ considerably.
They are designed for anyone wanting to understand more without needing to begin with a longer guide or training session.
Start with the question you have.
Go deeper when you are ready.

Start with what you want to understand.
A neurodifference may influence how someone processes information, communicates, focuses, learns, moves, remembers or experiences the world around them.
But a label never tells you everything about a person.
These slideshows introduce some of the characteristics and experiences associated with different neurodifferences while recognising individual variation, strengths and genuine challenges.
ADHD
What is ADHD?
Explore ADHD and some of the ways it can influence attention, regulation, executive functioning, working memory, motivation, energy and interest.
The slideshow introduces different ADHD experiences while recognising that ADHD can look and feel very different from one person to another.

Autism
What is autism?
Explore autism and some of the ways autistic people may experience communication, sensory information, predictability, focused interests, processing and interaction with the world around them.
The slideshow introduces autistic experience without assuming there is one way to be autistic.

Dyslexia
What is dyslexia?
Explore dyslexia and some of the ways it can influence reading, written language, information processing, working memory, organisation and learning.
The slideshow looks beyond common assumptions and introduces some of the variation that exists within dyslexic experience.

Dyscalculia
What is dyscalculia?
Explore dyscalculia and some of the ways it can influence understanding and working with numbers, quantity, sequencing, time and numerical information.
The slideshow introduces dyscalculia as more than simply finding maths difficult and considers some of the different ways it may be experienced.

Dysgraphia
What is dysgraphia?
Explore dysgraphia and some of the ways it can influence handwriting, written expression and the process of translating thoughts into written information.
The slideshow introduces some of the experiences associated with dysgraphia while recognising that these can vary between individuals.

Dyspraxia
What is dyspraxia?
Explore dyspraxia and some of the ways it can influence movement, coordination, planning, organisation and the processing involved in everyday activities.
The slideshow introduces some of the different ways dyspraxia may be experienced rather than reducing it to coordination alone.

People. Context. Experience. ↓
A neurodifference is part of the picture. Not the whole person.
Two people with the same neurodifference may have very different experiences.
What feels straightforward for one person may take considerably more energy for another.
Strengths can differ.
Challenges can differ.
Communication can differ.
Sensory experiences can differ.
The environment can also influence whether something feels supportive, manageable or demanding.
Understanding the neurodifference can give us useful context.
Understanding the person takes us further.

Understanding can develop in different ways.
A short visual explainer may answer the question you have today.
Sometimes you may want to explore a neurodifference in greater depth, understand more about lived experience or consider how context and environment can shape what somebody experiences.
Our guides take the conversation further.

Designed to build understanding.
These slideshows are educational explainers.
They introduce different neurodifferences and some of the ways they may be experienced.
They do not provide individual advice, workplace adjustment recommendations or guidance for a particular person or situation.
Where deeper understanding or practical support is needed, our wider guides, training and neuroinclusion services provide different ways to continue the conversation.
