Learning from lockdown to support those who think differently.
Many people with NDCs have been hit exceptionally hard by the COVID-19 pandemic - and for most, little changed as the first lockdown eased. At the same time, remote participation has enabled some to thrive.
Embracing Complexity is a coalition of 58 organisations supporting people with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) – conditions such as ADHD, autism, Down Syndrome, dyslexia, dyspraxia, learning disability, Tourette Syndrome and many more, which affect how people think and interact with the world.
In September-October 2020, 160 people with NDCs, relatives and carers took a survey on the impact of COVID19 and the measures to slow the spread of the virus on their everyday lives.
The varied responses highlight the need for choice in a post-pandemic world.
