At The Neurodiversity Alliance, we know the power of student voices. That’s why we’re proud to share this powerful feature from the Associated Press, highlighting the resilience and leadership of neurodivergent students who are breaking barriers and rewriting what inclusion looks like in schools and beyond.

From engineering student Tory Ridgeway to dozens of other young leaders, these stories shine a light on the challenges students face—and the solidarity, empowerment, and hope they discover when they come together.

Their message is simple but transformative: the future is neurodiverse.
