Thank you for attending the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit. Our event was 3186 registrants strong.  We have received numerous positive responses from our attendees:

"I think the event felt like an historic event for change. Totally inspirational at every level. The recorded videos will be a brilliant and highly effective resource for the neurodiversity movement. My field is education and I would like to see the importance of the links between the education system and employment explored at another summit. The summit demonstrated the importance of the neurodiversity movement for every aspect of life prevent the wastage of ability and for human progress. Heartfelt thanks to Professor Lawrence Fung and all for this amazing summit."

"I have already shared videos with co-workers. I have been a Job Coach for more than 10 years and a Vocational Coordinator for 4 years. The information from this summit was great. I have already began revising a transitional program that I present to high school students based on some of the information I got out of the summit as well as changing some of the ways I coach the participants in our programs. I am excited to see that there is a larger network speaking for and more importantly empowering people to speak for themselves so that they may live a more wholesome and meaningful life."

"I enjoyed the event and appreciated the fact that since it was virtual I was able to attend more of this than I would have had it been in person. This was my first time at this conference and would make time to attend again. I would also recommend to others."

"I'm a new graduate student in special education and while I was only able to attend several sessions, most of the speakers and content have broadened my perspectives and clarified my understanding about neurodiversity. I greatly appreciate the efforts to make this summit happen."

"Excellent Summit--I am very appreciative to Stanford for making the Summit available to the public and at no cost. The Summit was very informative and spoke to an important topic relating to the neurodiverse population. THANK YOU!!!"

"I am so encouraged and inspired by the work you're doing at Stanford. Thank you for bringing this high-quality event, for free, to the public. I would love to see more content on intersectionality, mental health, and holistic needs of neurominorities."

"Congratulations on organising such a relevant event. Loved the diversity of speakers and angles covered. Very inspirational - thank you so much."

"Greatly appreciated the huge effort that went into it, and the wide diversity of perspectives shown, as befits a Neurodiversity event of course, even if I didn't agree with all of them. Bravo, Dr Fung, especially. I just wish I had been able to see more sessions at the time and hope to catch up and promote the Youtube videos to my network."
