Hot Topic: Neurodiversity Celebration Week — Awareness, Accommodation or PR?

Hot Topic: Neurodiversity Celebration Week — Awareness, Accommodation or PR?

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2026 and question what it really achieves.


They explore the confusion around language, breaking down the difference between neurodiversity and neurodivergence and explaining why those terms are so often used interchangeably, even though they mean very different things. For Jordan, it highlights a wider issue: when the messaging itself is unclear, how meaningful can the awareness actually be?


From corporate PR exercises to performative inclusion, they reflect on whether neurodivergent people are truly being supported or acknowledged for a few days before being forgotten again.


A thoughtful and slightly tongue-in-cheek discussion about language, performative inclusion, and why true understanding shouldn’t be limited to one week a year.
