April at NeuroHub: Growth, Reflection, and Community
For Better Or Worse, April Is Here
April arrives with a brash and often uncomfrotable kind of significance. What Autistic people need doesn’t come from high performance awareness campaigns. Nothing loud, nothing performative. Something rooted in a deeper something; memory, meaning, and movement.
This month, we’re holding space for reflection, celebration, and continued growth across our community.
A Moment of Collective Power
Before anything else, we need your support.
NeuroHub Community Ltd has been nominated for the Community Organisation Award for Disability at the National Diversity Awards 2026.
This isn’t just about recognition.
It’s about showing that community-led, neurodivergent work matters ; that what we are building together has weight, has meaning, has impact.
👉 Vote for NeuroHub Community Ltd
If NeuroHub has supported you, resonated with you, or helped you feel less alone, this is one small action that can help sustain and grow that work.
A Different Kind of Autism History
Releasing April 2nd (Tomorrow): World Autism Day
This World Autism Day, we’re doing something a little different.
Instead of awareness that flattens us into stereotypes, this video traces a more honest history; one that acknowledges how autism has been defined, controlled, misunderstood, and reclaimed.
It’s about power.
It’s about narrative.
And it’s about who gets to tell the story.
The button below will allow you to watch our YouTube vidoc, releasing at 8:30am British Summer Time.
Ten Years Sober: A Moment Worth Marking
This April, I will be celebrating 10 years of sobriety.
Ten years of rebuilding.
Ten years of unlearning.
Ten years of becoming someone I didn’t know I could be.
To mark the moment, I’ll be hosting a book reading and signing event.
This isn’t just a milestone.
It’s a reminder that change is possible, even when it feels impossibly far away.
The Autistic Mental Health Conference
We’re continuing to build spaces that centre Autistic experience on its own terms.
This is about shifting the conversation from “what’s wrong with us” to “what has happened to us, and what do we need?”
Speakers are being announced as I write this, and I am excited to let you all know that Dr. Nick Walker will be presenting on the friday!
Mindfully Divergent: Growing Something Gentle
Our Mindfully Divergent programme is expanding.
We’re introducing:
Recorded guided meditations
Upcoming workbooks
Tools built for neurodivergent bodyminds
No rigid rules.
No forced calm.
Just space to reconnect.
Re-Storying Autism (A Gentle Reminder)
This isn’t about fixing autism.
It’s about unlearning the stories we’ve been given, and writing something more honest in their place. I promise you that you wont be disappointed with the content.
New Podcast Episodes Ongoing
Short reflections.
Honest conversations.
Something to sit with, rather than something to perform. We have several podcasts actively publishing each month!
What We’ve Been Writing
Alongside everything else, we’ve been quietly building a body of work that deepens how we understand Autistic experience.
These are invitations to think differently.
🌱 Burnout as Ecosystem Collapse
A reframing of Autistic burnout as a collapse of connection; not a personal failure, but an ecosystem under strain.
🧠 The Essential Guide to Autistic Mental Health
Moving beyond pathology, toward an understanding of mental health shaped by environment, systems, and lived experience.
📚 Who Gets to Tell the Story?
A reflection on narrative, authorship, and power, and why storytelling itself is a site of advocacy.
🌊 The Power of Minor Gestures
Change doesn’t always arrive as something big and visible.
Sometimes it’s the smallest actions, a message, a moment of care, a shift in language, that ripple outward and reshape the world around us.
This piece explores how community is built not through grand gestures, but through the accumulation of small, meaningful acts.
The NeuroHub Community
At the centre of all of this is community.
Not as a buzzword.
But as something lived.
A place to connect.
A place to learn.
A place to exist without masking.
Accessible via browser or the Heartbeat app.
🌱 Closing Thoughts
April isn’t just about autism awareness.
It’s about:
Reclaiming narrative
Building community
Honouring survival
Creating something better together
And maybe, gently,
finding our way back to ourselves along the way.
