PowerWood celebrating (Neuro)diversity

- in our forever changing world -
PowerWood  PowerWood C.I.C the UK’s leading not-for-profit, community-driven, social venture is committed to raising awareness about Neurodiversity as a positive force for change in society. We believe Neurodiversity is the result of normal, natural variation in humans. We celebrate this different way of looking at conditions or innate abilities that were traditionally pathologised. This point of view is increasingly supported by science and is challenging widespread social norms and stigmas. PowerWood is adapting to the current changes in our society by exploring and developing our online support further.
