Introduction
Why intersectionality matters in practice
Neurodivergence is shaped not only by neurology but by social context. Research and lived experience show that people from ethnic minority backgrounds may experience:
Later or missed diagnosis Cultural stigma around disability Increased masking or code-switching Misinterpretation of behaviours Reduced access to support
Understanding intersectionality helps us create safer spaces for colleagues and provide more culturally responsive support to clients.
A note on inclusion and responsibility
This resource list is intended as a starting point for exploration and reflection. It is not intended to endorse all organisations, individuals, or viewpoints included.
Whilst care has been taken to identify neurodiversity-affirming and intersectionally informed content, external organisations and creators may update or change their content over time. We are not responsible for material published externally. Some resources include social media accounts or community-led spaces which may contain personal views and evolving discussions.
Not all resources will resonate with everyone. Staff are encouraged to engage critically and use what feels helpful and relevant to their own context.
The following resources are grouped by format and purpose to support different ways of learning and exploring.
