Vilnius University (VU) is organizing a conference on December 3rd, “Behind the Silence: Challenges of Neurodiversity.” The conference will address the stigma and silence surrounding neurodiversity, the obstacles neurodiverse individuals face in academia, and ways to build a supportive and inclusive community.
The conference will address key issues: why both neurodiverse individuals and those around them avoid talking about these challenges, how to overcome shame and ignorance, and what changes are needed to better see, understand, and support each other. The conference will provide English-Lithuanian and Lithuanian-English translation.
