Excellent initiative and one we would love to get involved with.
We support autistic and neurodivergent youngsters into employment or further education as a stepping stone to independence. Some of those we have supported enjoy the solitary sports such as running - hadn't thought about rowing but seems to make sense.
We are also involved with Universities and would love further engagement and to lend our support in any way we can

We noted that there was little mention of neurodiversity and sought to address this.

It's vitally important to us that we are representing the needs of the entire neurodivergent community, so feel free to comment on this post with your views.
We want to create a community of neurodivergent sportspeople and supporters
We encourage members to:
ask questions,
share knowledge, and
share experiences
of neurodiversity in sport - both the good and the not so good...
Our only 'rule' is that posts and comments are kind and considerate
and posted in aid of mutual learning, support, and progression!
