Neurodiversity Manifesto: Labour Party Launch

Submitted May, 2019

Neurodivergent
Labour was launched on 9
February 2019 and will have its founding Annual General Meeting later this
year. It continues the work of the Labour
Party Autism / Neurodiversity Manifesto Steering Group, which formed in
2016 with the support of John McDonnell MP for the purpose of drafting a
Manifesto on this issue for the Labour Party.

For more than two years, the Steering Group
