![Be the reason neurodivergent children never have to question if they belong.
Not by saying the right thing once.
But by what you allow, what you challenge, and what you consistently protect.
Belonging isn’t built through “inclusion” posters or awareness days.
It’s built in the quiet moments,
when you don’t force eye contact,
when you honour communication differences,
when you stop correcting what was never wrong.
Neurodivergent children are paying attention to who feels safe.
Make sure it’s you.
