Neurodiversity is a broad term which covers an array of conditions affecting how islanders think, act, communicate and experience the world around them.

Such neurological conditions include: 

  • Autism

  • ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

  • Dyslexia

  • Dyspraxia

  • Tourette’s syndrome

The Government of Jersey has partnered up with Autism Jersey. Together, they are now looking at creating a strategy, spanning three years, which identifies “how we can better support neurodivergent individuals within our community to provide them with better support services and awareness”.

A consultation has now been opened to help islanders share their views. It runs online until 20 September.

HAVE YOUR SAY…

Individuals can share their thoughts by completing a survey here.

There is also an opportunity for service providers, such as charities, carers and community groups, to have their say on the strategy. They are invited to complete a separate survey here.
