PowerWood

PowerWood C.I.C. was a UK not-for-profit, community-driven social venture committed to raising awareness of neurodiversity as a positive force for change. We believed neurodiversity is the result of normal, natural variation in humans — a different way of looking at conditions and innate abilities that have traditionally been pathologised. This view is increasingly supported by science and challenges long-standing stigma. The C.I.C. was formally resolved in 2026. Founder Simone de Hoogh has since retired, though she remains available to support those she has worked with over the years. This website now stands as an archive of the information and experience gathered over more than a decade by Simone, the volunteers who supported PowerWood fullheartedly for years, and the many others who helped along the way.
