Neurodiversity Matters Telford

12/02/2026

I seen this post and thought it was a great idea. With all the struggles we go through on a daily basis, I think it's important to say how you feel sometimes as it can help. So if your feeling up to it leave the colour of the heart in the comments or DM me your colour. If this post can help one person that's all that matters.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Please sign and share. Schools need a lesson in how to properly support neurodiverse children and not punish them for their disability.

It is about time schools started to treat neurodivergent children with Autism and ADHD appropriately. These are not just labels. They are brains that are literally made differently to neurotypical ones. ADHD children don’t make the wrong choices-because they don’t have a choice in how their brain functions.

We must insist on better education for children who have ADHD.

We feel that neurodivergent children (especially children with hyperactive/impulsive or combined ADHD) need movement to help regulate their brains. We think we need to stop punishing neurodivergent children in schools by removing access to outdoor play and movement opportunities.
