Celebrating and Honoring Neurodiversity
All Neurotypes believes that all neurotypes and experiences are valid.
“You are a human being, and your life can be rich, full, complete, fulfilling, and meaningful on that basis alone.”
- Ly Xīnzhèn Zhǎngsūn Brown
All Neurotypes creates spaces where neurodivergent communication is appreciated and celebrated. We believe in the inherent value of every neurotype, every way of thinking, and every mode of communication. Based on this belief, All Neurotypes is dedicated to building inclusive, sensory friendly, communities while offering positive supports for neurodivergent individuals.
How we define Neurodiversity
Neurodiveristy encompasses any way of thinking, being, or communicating which is sufficiently different from ‘the norm’. Some forms of neurodiversity include Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder, Tourette Syndrome and more.
We view neurodiversity from the belief that all brains are beautiful. Instead of viewing these diagnoses as a list of perceived “deficits” to be fixed, we view these differences as a valuable form of diversity - which the world needs.

Clinician and therapist support program
We are thrilled to launch our clinician support program in 2025. This program aims to provide therapists and other clinicians with mini-grants to support free or sliding scale services to neurodivergent individuals. To supplement our mini-grant, we are offering periodic discussion/reflection groups for clinicians to discuss topics related to neurodiversity-affirming clinical services as well as accessibility and inclusion more generally.

Databases
We are currently developing a Neurodiversity in Colour database and also are working on a (currently very tiny!) database of research studies focused on quality of life in autistic individuals.

Training Programs
Our training programs are designed to help parents, teachers, and clinicians better understand the perspectives of neurodivergent children. We provide an introduction to neurodiversity and discuss the over-looked benefits of repetitive movement, autistic play, echolalia, and more!
