I wish that was clickbait. but this is a new project I’ve already been flamed on linkedin. so if you hate the idea, tell me nicely, okay? thanks x

Basically the fact the neurodiversity movement has becoming a few loud, white voices speaking for us all gives me the ick and after 3 years bitching and moaning, its time to do something about it - with your help x
You may have heard me mention alryt.world before, and if you haven’t dw I dont think I’ve ever actually explained what it is so here goes…
alryt.world is a neutropian approach to neuroinclusion.
This basically means in alryt.world we’re dreamers, but grounded in reality.
So the editorial content, social accounts and community may get idealistic at play with the hypothetical but the advice, tips and teachings are always practical. The content we produce aims to covers the breadth of the POC ND experience and we regularly check ourselves and each other to ensure we’re not siloed. This also means that there will be times when we call in or lean on our white allies, intentionally.
So yeah, Im still working on it but thats the vibe - if any of that peaks your interest, here are some of the ways you can be involved:
