Introducing The Hidden...
The Hidden 20% relaunches as The Hidden, with a campaign for a Minister for Neurodiversity.
Founded by Ben Branson, the neurodiversity organisation is building a national movement to make the hidden visible.
The new name marks a new mission: to make neurodiversity a national conversation, and to campaign for the UK's first Minister for Neurodiversity.
Neurodivergent people face years-long waits for assessment. They are failed by schools never built for their brains, pushed out of work, and over-represented in the prison system.
Ben Branson, founder and CEO of The Hidden, said: "Today we become The Hidden and we’re calling for a Minister for Neurodiversity. It’s time to join the dots and build the future for every brain. Onwards!"
