From 16 to 20 March, we will be marking Neurodiversity Celebration Week with an exciting programme of free online and in-person events.
This year’s events have been co-produced by the East Sussex Autism Partnership Board (a group of people with both lived and professional experience of autism). Together, they have developed the 2025–2027 Action Plan, which sets out practical steps towards building a neuro-inclusive East Sussex.
Throughout the week, residents can hear from local and national experts, learn about new developments, and explore what’s happening across East Sussex to improve support, inclusion and understanding.

- Monday 16th March 12.30pm – 2pm (online) – Dr Luke Beardon: Autopia
