It's why we've tried to make it as simple as possible for you to identify sources of support. Flick through these slides for some suggestions.

Neurodiversity Resources
Many individuals and organisations lack understanding of neurodiversity
because they lack awareness.
Occasionally, individuals and organisations choose to actively ignore or even discriminate against neurodivergent people.
If you have experienced discrimination in sport, you may want to seek advice and support.
We've listed some potential sources of information and support below:
Your
Rights
