Neurodiversity: signposting and support

This week on our Recovery Blog, we’re marking Neurodiversity Celebration Week!

So far, we’ve talked about why we should celebrate neurodiversity, what neurodiversity actually is and some of the ways it can affect us. As Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025 comes to an end, we’re sharing a collection of neurodiversity groups and support organisations in East Surrey and further afield. We hope you’ve enjoyed our posts this week – as ever, we’d love to hear what you think!
