Respect for All: Invisible No More: Neurodiversity, LGBT+ Identity & History of Innovation
This LGBT+ History Month webinar explores the often-overlooked intersections of LGBT+ and neurodivergent identities.
Join Respect for All's (neurodivergent mental health charity), LGBT+ History Month webinar as we explore the often-overlooked intersections of LGBT+ and neurodivergent identities, with a particular focus on what this history means for health, social care, and community support today.
Bringing together historical insight, lived experience, and practical reflection, the session looks at how access to education, research, and innovation has been shaped by exclusion, activism, and visibility — and why this matters for professionals and communities working to create safer, more inclusive spaces.
We’ll explore:
- How LGBT+ and neurodivergent people have contributed to innovation and social change, often despite systemic barriers
- The historical roots of exclusion and pathologisation within health, education, and care systems
- The role of visibility, advocacy, and community-led change
- Practical reflections on inclusive practice, representation, and creating safer spaces in services and partnerships today
This session is aimed at:
- Health & social care professionals
- Third sector and voluntary sector partners
- LGBT+ and neurodivergent people and communities
- Allies working in or alongside support services
Whether you’re delivering services, shaping policy, or navigating these systems yourself, this webinar offers context, insight, and space for reflection on how we can do better — together.
Join Respect for All to make the invisible visible, and to build more inclusive futures in care, community, and innovation.
