Debate

Neurodiversity: Ministerial Role

Contribution

I congratulate the hon. Member on securing this important debate. I recognise that our society and Government are set up in a neurotypical way, as opposed to looking at divergence. I congratulate the Government on all the work they are doing around young people, but we know that we need to look at a life course. I support the hon. Member’s call to ensure that we have a cross-cutting mainstream focus on neurodivergence, but also that we embed that into the policies and the structures of our society.
