This dynamic, fast-paced, and interactive presentation will explore what dyslexia and autism are, the challenges and benefits that they can both bring, how dyslexic and autistic traits can complement each other, and what we can do in our everyday lives to both create a positive environment and release the potential of our dyslexic and autistic family, friends, students, and colleagues.

Rachel and Martin don't shy away from the challenges that being neurodivergent can bring, or the prejudices that others may feel towards the neurodivergent; but they do bring to light some fascinating truths about the real benefits of dyslexia and autism. This presentation will be fun and informative, and filled with facts, stories, and even some cake.
