It was really lovely to finally meet Emily in person at #Museums2024! Speaking to (and with) so many people about neurodivergence within museums (both visitors and the workforce) was a really wonderful highlight from this year's conference. I can't wait to continue the convos!
Seeing so many attend the workshop on Neurodivergent Joy led by @aimee_speaks and @NeuroMuseum was definitely my most joyful moment and conference highlight knowing that so many are wanting to make museums accessible for neurodivergent people. (3/6)

As we conclude #AutismAcceptanceWeek, I have been reflecting on the @NeuroMuseum 's inaugural conference #NDMuseums24 It's evident that embracing neurodiversity, not only enriches our collective experience but, is crucial for creating truly inclusive museum spaces.

@NeuroMuseum "Making people realise that it isn't always expensive to make things neurodivergent friendly" Justine highlights that many of the decisions you can make, adjustments that can be made and access-enabling tools don't cost a lot - but have a huge benefit to everyone #NDMuseums24

@NeuroMuseum "It means that people don't need to disclose their diagnosis to be able to access what they need" @NeuroMuseum's Justine highlights the importance of creating an environment where people can access what they need without being forced to "prove" their need for it. #NDMuseums24
