Question 1

Who is this event for?

Accepted Answer

NeuroCurious is for anyone interested in learning more about neurodiversity in an open, supportive, and inclusive space. You might be recently diagnosed, on the waitlist, or just curious to learn more about yourself or someone you know or care for. No prior knowledge is expected!

Question 2

Is this event open to all genders / non-binary and trans folk?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Neurodivergence affects everyone, and this event is about increasing understanding, connection, and allyship across all communities. We welcome all genders to NeuroCurious and are keen for those who are gender diverse to be part of these conversations. Please do join us.

Question 3

What age group is this event for?

Accepted Answer

The event is open to anyone aged 14+ years old. Discovering your neurodivergence, particularly - but not exclusively - for females, often comes later in life. We select our speaker in a way that helps shine a light on different experiences, of people of all ages.

Question 4

I can't make it in person - will it be recorded?

Accepted Answer

You can select an in person ticket with or without a recording, or a recording ticket only. Recordings will be sent within a week afterwards (please bear with us as we are a small team).
Alternatively, you can opt for joining us via Video Stream.

Question 5

I'm a manager / business leader - can I bring my team?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Attending as a team can help develop greater empathy, awareness, and create new open conversations. Get on the waitlist to hear about another event designed specifically for workplace inclusion or contact connect@thewomenhood.com to discover other opportunities for bespoke solutions.

Question 6

What if I struggle in loud or overwhelming places?

Accepted Answer

We understand. That’s why we have partnered with Joyfully Different and Platfr9m to ensure your sensory needs can be met. We will have a quiet room available throughout the event, traffic light lanyards so you can manage your interactions, and a team to welcome and support you on the night.

Question 7

Will I have to interact with people?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no expectation for social interaction if you don’t want to and we will have a traffic light lanyard system in place courtesy of Joyfully Different so that it is easy to share with others how you feel without talking. This will be a safe space where everyone is welcomed.

Question 8

I'm not diagnosed - can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NeuroCurious has been created for people who are just that - curious about neurodiversity, whether for yourself or someone else. Whether you have been diagnosed, are on the waitlist, been wondering for a while, or just curious to learn more - this space is for you.

Question 9

I'd like one of these talks for my business / event - is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, The WomenHood offers a variety of online and in person talks across neurodiversity, women's health, money and relationships, to support organisations close their gender gaps. Please email Jess Rad on hello@thewomenhood.com or book a discovery call to learn more: https://calendly.com/jessrad/30

Question 10

Will there be drinks or refreshments?

Accepted Answer

Yes - we have partnered with Lucky Saint beers and CANS, which means we can offer you two free drinks for this launch event. Collect your drinks tokens on arrival. There will be some snacks available, but we suggest eating dinner beforehand if you get hangry!

Question 11

Will there be photography at the event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are partnered with a photographer to help us capture the event so photography will take place throughout the event for use by The WomenHood Ltd in future marketing and communications. If you have concerns, please contact hello@thewomenhood.com in advance.
