Dear friends and readers,<\/p>\n NeuroDiversion<\/a>\u00a0is coming up in just one month! I\u2019ve been working on it nearly full-time, and I can\u2019t wait to welcome everyone who makes the trip. But since I\u2019ve had my head in the details for a while, I recently realized that I might not have explained the big-picture goal very well. Sorry about that!<\/p>\n An example of what I mean: I recently got a note from a reader who made me think,\u00a0wow, I need to explain this thing a bit better<\/em>. They basically wondered if the event was a good fit for them. Specifically, they said:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a bit older than what I imagine as your typical reader, and I\u2019m also not sure I\u2019m \u2019neurodivergent\u2019, although I\u2019ve certainly been wondering lately, especially after reading about adult ADHD. Do you think this is something I should come to?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And it\u2019s not just this person: I\u2019ve heard from a bunch of people who like the concept when they hear about it\u2014but don\u2019t know if they should attend. They have questions like:<\/p>\n (And many more\u2026 these are just a few situations we\u2019ve encountered.)<\/p>\n Well, here is the thing.\u00a0We are building something very new here.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s a team effort with many people involved, almost all of whom are volunteering their time just like me. I don\u2019t want it to just be\u00a0good<\/em>; I want it to be amazing and transformative for everyone involved.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re reading this and wondering: am I invited? Yes, you are! I\u2019m sorry if I haven\u2019t come to your house with a personal invitation. (Honestly, I wish I could do that, because I would.)<\/p>\n (Or keep reading for more info\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n Want to be inspired? Hear from keynote speakers including\u00a0Jessica McCabe<\/a>,\u00a0Cassandra Aarssen<\/a>,\u00a0Dr. Brandi Walker<\/a>,\u00a0Shira Gill<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n Want to learn? We have breakout sessions on two dozen topics including:<\/p>\n Many of these sessions are taught by therapists and other mental health professionals. Others are taught by authors and educators\u2014all people who have real-world experience in these topics, and who teach from both traditional\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0non-traditional perspectives.<\/p>\n Education is a big part of the three days, but it will also be FUN. Among other activities:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/chrisguillebeau.com\/_next\/image?url=%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F03%2FPost-1.jpeg&w=3840&q=75\")
