Ellie Middleton is an autistic and ADHD creator, writer and consultant. After a lifetime of feeling misunderstood, she was diagnosed with both Autism and ADHD at the age of 24. Since then, she's gone on to build an audience of over 300,000 people online, create the unmasked community for neurodivergents, and work with global brands like The Independent, Google and LinkedIn to change the narrative on neurodiversity.
Ellie aims to shout about the positives that come with being neurodivergent, highlight the ways that society can better accommodate those of us with different brains, and help other undiagnosed neurodivergent people find the answers that they deserve. She is living proof that getting a diagnosis can change your life, change your outlook, and allow you to reach your true potential - and thinks that is something that every neurodivergent person deserves.
This session explores the concept of neurodiversity and how embracing it can lead to a more inclusive and accepting society. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the unique strengths and perspectives that individuals with neurodiverse conditions, such as autism or ADHD, bring to the table. By celebrating these differences, attendees will learn how to create environments that foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration, benefiting both individuals and organisations.
