Petition Action

Protect the rights of Autistic and other Neurodivergent people

Petition Details

I want Government/Parliament to add Neurocognition to the list of protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010.

This is an important first step in recognising and protecting Neurodivergent people.

Additional Information

The Equality act legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and wider society, such as sex, race and disability.

However many neurodivergent people feel they are different not disabled, and are therefore not protected.

In the same way the Equality Act 2010 not only protects sex, but sexual preference and gender reassignment, it's important to protect neurodivergent people and will encourage more neurotypical people to learn about neurodiversity, ADHD, Autism, PDA, etc.
