Neurodiversity is a concept, as simple as science, every person in life is uniquely beautiful; physically, emotionally, neurologically, etc just to name some. And just like nature, the biodiversity thrives because every living thing contributes in its own way to the variety of life. 

It stems from the idea where there is no measure of perfection or imperfection, it is just its own nature. Thus neurodiversity celebrates every single person's nature to be.

Nature is beautiful because there is so much diversity in it. Nature and all living beings are all inter-dependent on each other. An inclusive society celebrates this collaboration of differences. There is no comparisons in this concept. There is only embracing each other completely.

We understand that no two person is alike.
So we also understand that no two person has the same strengths and challenges.

​In the following paragraphs, we shall explore more about the depths of what inclusive society means, and how everyone is a part of it.

​But is it really that easy? No. It requires more than just understanding and acceptance. It requires one to be able to embrace it whole heartedly. 
​


​
​So how does inclusion look like?

The idea of the quality of contribution to society is not the same for everyone. It does not work for individuals who face challenges of immobility or neurological difficulty. Thus the quality of life has nothing to do with how much a person is contributing in terms of economic participation and status.

​The quality of life is the effort to embrace yourself, and others in all its diversity. Everyone has a responsibility to be part of another person's quality of life. As a collective group, we can then contribute to each other's lives and make a change to create a meaningful and joyful life.

​

​To practise inclusion, is to actively cultivate understanding,  compassion and  fully embrace another completely.

Christopher Ulmer is an American disability-rights advocate, former special education teacher, YouTuber, and founder of the non-profit Special Books by Special Kids. He shares his insight from years of listening to neurodiverse people, about what he has learnt about inclusion and mindful teaching.
A research was done in Ireland, to look at the the value of 'social inclusion' and how it was achieved, with sharings through their stories of several participants lives. Social inclusion is a poorly understood concept and can mean different things to different people. ​The study provides strong evidence on the need to change from paternalistic notions of ‘care’ to that of support if people with intellectual disabilities are to have their right to socially included lives recognised and supported.

United National Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities focuses on the right to live independently and the right to be included in the community – rights that are most relevant to social inclusion and people with disabilities.

​Participants told us that social inclusion gave them a sense of belonging and contributing and placed great value on having choice and control in their lives​.
​
Being socially included led participants to make positive change for other people with intellectual disabilities .

​
Everyone has the capacity of understanding, loving and embracing inclusive living.  We can be in touch with the diversity of life in both the positive and challenging sides of it.

This website is thus built since 2017, to hopefully be able to support through sharing of knowledge, and empower everyone; parent, educator, professionals, and advocates to connect and collaborate and form communities that can grow together and build the inclusive society, starting from one person to another. 
May 2020 be a year of love, joy and many beginnings.
