Neurodiversity @ Harvard
The Neurodiversity Project seeks to promote awareness and inclusion of the neurodivergent community (including neurodivergent individuals, supporters, and anyone) at Harvard. Neurodivergent individuals and anyone interested in learning more about neurodiversity are welcome to join the Neurodiversity Affinity Group, which aims to provide a safe space for individuals to foster discussions about neurodiversity and inclusion.
