THE INTERNATIONAL NEURODIVERSITY CONFERENCE
The International Neurodiversity Conference, organised by NeuroKinds—a neurodiversity hub in the Middle East—brings together regional and global communities committed to advancing neuroinclusion across sectors.
As we plan the 2027 edition of the INC, we stand as an ecosystem driving global & fair expertise distribution, promoting neuro-affirmative attitudes and practices, and prioritising human connection across cultures.

ONLINE CONFERENCE - MAIN
The International Neurodiversity Conference 2026 brought together a global community of over 45 speakers and attendees representing more than 35 countries, making it a truly international platform for dialogue, learning, and collaboration.
Across two dynamic online days, participants engaged in three dedicated streams:
-
Organizations & Government
-
Health, Mental Health & Neurodivergence
-
Education, Family & Community
A key highlight of the conference was the keynote address by Atif Choudhury, which set the tone for the event with powerful insights into global neurodiversity, systems change, and inclusion efforts that do not discriminate.
Its theme: Neurodiversity Across the Lifespan, highlighted the life-long nature of neurological differences and hence the need for integrated, sustainable, collaborative approaches to harvesting the diverse human potential and serving diverse needs.

NEURODIVERSITY YOUTH CORNER
A designated-to-youth Neurodiversity Youth Corner (3rd day of the conference), allowed space for young voices to lead the discussion.
At the core of the International Neurodiversity Conference 2026 lies a premise that sustainable progress in neuro-inclusion requires collective effort across cultures, sectors, borders and developmental stages.
