Neurodivergency is an umbrella term that includes people with Tourette鈥檚, Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and more. To mark 鈥楴eurodiversity Celebration Week鈥� Jonathan Thomas asks whether faith communities do enough to support people with additional needs.

Pembrokeshire born artist and writer Sophie Killingley has recently been commissioned to write a book, 鈥楤lessed are the Neurodivergent鈥�. She shares her experience of raising her two Autistic children, and how churches could be more welcoming to all.

We visit 鈥楲ittle Cherubs鈥� in the Rhondda Valley, a group set up by Hannah Leyshon to support neurodiverse children and their families. We鈥檒l hear from Methodist minister Jon Miller in Carmarthenshire, who鈥檚 found that his adult diagnosis has helped him understand how his mind works, and also to value the strengths neurodiversity can bring. We鈥檒l ask what churches can do to be more accommodating to neurodiverse people, with advice from Anne Laure Jackson who runs a Sensory Healthy Church programme to help churches to be more inclusive. We hear from Emily Prance at St. Mark's Church in Cardiff about the changes they've made to help families with additional needs.
