This week (March 17th–23rd), we’re celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week - a global initiative designed to challenge stereotypes, amplify neurodivergent voices, and honour the unique ways neurodivergence shapes our world. It’s a time to recognise and appreciate the richness of neurodiverse experiences and to advocate for greater understanding and inclusion.

At Intimata, we’re passionate about fostering spaces where neurodivergent individuals feel seen, understood, and supported. In honour of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re sharing some of our favourite resources that explore neurodivergence in relationships, identity, and sensory experiences. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself or want to deepen your understanding, we invite you to explore, reflect, and celebrate with us.
