    "Keep Getting Back Up: From Bullied to Black Belt"

    Rowan Kinsella is a passionate advocate for Neurodiversity and an accomplished athlete in the GB Adaptive Judo Squad. Drawing from personal experience, he champions the crucial role of "Safe Spaces and Communities" for Neurodivergent individuals, especially in youth sports. Overcoming five years of bullying due to a speech impediment and learning differences, Rowan found solace and strength in the inclusive environment of his local judo club. This safe space not only provided support during challenging times but also shaped him into the person he is today. Now an EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) Partner, Rowan travels the world, training with elite athletes and sharing his inspiring journey from a bullied student to a black belt judoka. His story embodies the power of perseverance, encapsulated in the mantra "Keep Getting Back Up" - words spoken by a respected coach upon Rowan's achievement of his first Dan black belt. In his talk "Keep Getting Back Up: From Bullied to Black Belt," Rowan explores how inclusive sports communities can transform lives, build resilience, and empower Neurodivergent individuals to become champions both on and off the mat. Through his personal narrative, Rowan demonstrates how the lessons learned in sports can lead to success in all areas of life, particularly for those facing unique challenges.

    UNmuting Autism”A Son’s Voice A Mother’s Story

    Join us for an inspiring talk with Ishwarya Kumar Ishwarya Kumar is a highly driven and accomplished professional with extensive experience in leadership and global talent development, as well as solid expertise in leading the development of learning solutions, design, and products for behavioural learning. Ishwarya writes this less as a mom of a 9 year old, minimally speaking child on the autism spectrum and more as an ally who advocates that millions of children like my son are thinkers even if they are not speakers. Autism comes in various formats - remember, if you have met one child on the spectrum, you have met only one child on the spectrum..Each version of autism is different. One common thread though that connects all these beautiful people is their kindness, their purity at heart and their intelligence which is often misunderstood, misinterpreted and heavily underestimated. One such individual is Hasan - who spent many years of his life trying to communicate with a heavily dysregulated body. Only recently, with a ton of effort we had a breakthrough. Hasan and many individuals like him are extremely competent, they are listening, thinking and feeling all the time. Hasan now uses his gross motor skills to communicate openly through a letterboard. A simple 26-letter board helps him speak his mind off through his fingers. Hasan who recently celebrated his 9th birthday , 8 years of it was nothing but pure underestimation, struggle and sensory outbursts - the last one year has been like rebirth. Hasan wakes up one day and decides that he wants to write a RAP SONG about autism. He did it one letter at a time, he typed his heart out without a single error or prompt - he typed out a 404-word rap! ❤️ He calls it "GIFTW(RAP)PED" and - let's be real - this left Ishwarya speechless. So pour yourself a coffee and join us for an exciting new episode of Neurodiversity Stories. A massive thank you also to our Sponsor, PROMOVA ❤️ Struggling to learn a new language?
