In Peru, the Coalition of Neurodivergent People is transforming the lives of those with autism and ADHD. This group raises awareness about neurodivergent needs and offers community support. The coalition bridges the gap between seeing autism as a disease and embracing it as a different way of life. The group’s efforts include community picnics, day trips, workshops, and group activities.
It is helping individuals develop social skills and find new ways of learning. With more than 12 thousand participants in their WhatsApp groups, CNP provides advice and support for those facing neurodivergent challenges. Looking ahead, the group aims to establish a house dedicated to their cause. It will offer such things as legal advice, workshops, mindfulness sessions, and temporary housing. This space would serve as a safe haven for neurodivergent individuals and their families, ensuring a more understanding community.
