At the heart of Neurodiverse Sport is a set of beliefs and values that guide everything we do.
We believe that all humans are neurologically diverse and that everyone has different neurological and behavioral traits, but current stereotypes about how these manifest are outdated. I also think that it is.
Neural bifurcation exists in people with intellectual disabilities and para-sports, but it also exists in healthy people playing mainstream sports.
Building a “safe space” in sports for everyone
Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to recognize that and foster collaboration with neurodivergent athletes.
We want to combat misconceptions surrounding neurodiversity and remove the stigma that still pervades many sporting disciplines.
As it stands, revealing that you are autistic or have ADHD, for example, remains a big risk in many sporting situations.
We use real stories about neurodivergent sports to raise awareness, inspire and educate about neurodivergence in the field, and our website, blog and social media We strive to be a safe space for divergent athletes, athletes, and supporters alike.
By providing this “safe space,” we can foster meaningful conversations about neurodiversity without the judgment and bias that is still prevalent in the media.
Volunteers are also key to creating the space and our work. I'll do it with Neurodiverse Sport.
Organizing big events, supporting various types of research, all types of communication, etc. – As with this blog, the help of Peter Barnes was key – Our activities would not be possible without them.
We value the diversity of strengths and struggles that often go hand-in-hand with neural divergence and believe that success can be anything from winning medals and accolades to simply participating in and engaging in sports and physical activity. I understand that.
No matter what a person's abilities are at any given time, we believe everyone deserves the support they need to reach their full potential.
We understand that for some, this support needs to be more significant, while for others it is often as simple as understanding and accepting differences.
Therefore, it is very important to know each individual and not rely too much on labels and stereotypes.
We exist to challenge and change perceptions.I want to make society better for neurodiverse athletes and leverage their strengths instead of stigmatizing them.
We believe that incorporating neurodivergence will allow us to incorporate another perspective, and that this innovation will give us the opportunity to change performance and ultimately take our sport to the next level. believe.
We want to show that neurodiversity is something to be celebrated and welcomed into sport.Because we need to work together, not against each other, we Build on your strengths instead of letting them get in the way.
Therefore, we embrace rather than exclude.
