Our Mission

Embracing Complexity brings together organisations working to facilitate evidence-based inclusion of neurodivergent people.

We believe that:

  • Our priorities should be set by the people we serve
  • Diagnosis should be timely, accurate and accessible
  • Clinical diagnosis should not be a requirement for getting support or adjustments
  • Support should be personalised, easy to access and built on the best evidence
  • Research should move away from pre-defined diagnostic categories and needs to reflect priorities set by the community of neurodivergent people
  • All public services and all parts of society have a role to play in improving the lives of neurodivergent people
  • We achieve more when we work together
