Kaboose exists to create belonging, understanding, and support for neurodivergent people.

At the heart of what we do are Neuro Nuggets, our short, practical guides that help you understand how your brain works and find ways to make work and life easier.

We love Kaboose!!

They have created an app that was built by neurodivergent brains FOR neurodivergent brains.

They are one of the summit sponsors but more than that they are such a great group to work with and connect with!

Comment SUMMIT to get more info!

Can I brag about our sponsors for a second?

Putting on a free summit takes a village, and these three said yes before they had any idea how big this was going to get. That is the kind of backing that means no mama gets turned away at the door because of a price tag.

We love Kaboose because they are building the place our girls grow into, free, expert led and full of people who get it. We love The Unfinished Community because no mama should be doing this on her own. And we love Megs at Organizing an ADHD Brain because she has never once told anyone to just get organised, she coaches the brain you actually have.

Swipe through to meet them properly, then go and give all three a follow. They are good people doing good work for our girls and for us, and they deserve every bit of it.

The summit is 5 to 7 October, online and free. If you have not grabbed your spot yet, comment SUMMIT and I will send the link over.

A great day at the I CAN Expo on Friday 💛

Thank you to Chris Varney and the I CAN team for bringing together autistic young people, families, educators and support staff who care deeply about genuine inclusion.

We had so many important conversations at the Kaboose stand about moving beyond awareness and giving people practical tools to understand and support neurodiversity every day.

That is exactly why we created Kaboose Neuro Nuggets.

If you are a parent, educator or champion of inclusion, get in touch. We would love to show you how Kaboose can support your school, workplace or community.

Is your recruitment process finding the best candidate, or the person best able to navigate the process? 🔍

For many neurodivergent people, application forms, CV expectations, interviews and assessments can create invisible barriers that make it harder to demonstrate their strengths.

Join Andy Ryan for a Divergent Discussion exploring recruitment through a neurodiversity-informed lens.

Together, we’ll discuss:

✨ Where invisible barriers appear during recruitment
✨ How bias can influence CVs, interviews and assessments
✨ What inclusive recruitment looks like in practice
✨ How candidates can navigate inaccessible processes
✨ Practical changes that help organisations recognise potential

A fair recruitment process shouldn’t test someone’s ability to overcome unnecessary barriers.

⏰ A reminder for managers, HR and People leaders...

Before your next performance conversation, ask yourself one question:

"Have I explored whether this person has the support they need to succeed?"

Sometimes what looks like poor performance is actually:
• unclear expectations
• executive functioning challenges
• competing demands
• sensory overload
• communication differences
• unmet access needs

Changing the question can completely change the outcome.

If you're leading people, supporting employees, or simply want to build a more inclusive workplace, don't miss this important conversation with Caitlin Hughes.

Together we'll unpack the difference between performance issues and access needs, and explore practical ways to create workplaces where neurodivergent people can thrive.

Yesterday, my son turned 23.

For years, I wondered whether we would ever get to see the young man I saw yesterday.

He was bullied at school. Bullied at his part-time job. Tricked into making poor decisions by people who thought it was funny to take advantage of someone who was wired differently.

He was isolated by teachers who didn’t understand him.

And through his teenage years, the mental distress became so significant that he was hospitalised and intubated multiple times.
There were times when we genuinely wondered whether he would survive.

Yesterday, I watched him celebrate his 23rd birthday.
He’s working in a data entry role and thriving. And at his birthday drinks, some of his work friends came along.

Not my friends.
Not family friends.
His friends.

People he had met himself. People he had connected with and built friendships with. People who wanted to be there to celebrate him.

I stood there watching him laughing and enjoying himself, and I had tears in my eyes.
Just pure happiness.
I could not be prouder of him.

It also reminded me why belonging matters so much.

Finding your people isn’t just a nice-to-have. Being somewhere you are accepted, included and valued can be critical to our mental health and our ability to thrive - in life and at work.

It’s one of the reasons I built Kaboose.
Because I know what isolation can do.
And yesterday, I got to see what belonging can look like. :heart:

What happens when organisations hire people for their differences, then manage them for sameness? 🧠

Many neurodivergent employees are recruited for their unique strengths and perspectives, only to enter workplaces that reward conformity.

The result? Masking, withheld ideas and talented people learning that fitting in feels safer than contributing differently.

Join Robert Annis for a thought-provoking Divergent Discussion exploring:

✨ The invisible expectations suppressing neurodivergent talent
✨ The effects of masking and psychological safety
✨ Why disclosure and individual adjustments aren’t enough
✨ How strengths-based leadership can help people thrive
✨ Practical ways to create more neuro-inclusive workplaces

If organisations genuinely value different ways of thinking, their systems need to support them.

What if wellbeing wasn't about trying harder, but about understanding what your brain actually needs?

For many neurodivergent people, traditional wellbeing advice can feel exhausting, unrealistic, or simply doesn't work. Sustainable wellbeing isn't about forcing yourself into someone else's routine. It's about finding strategies that support you.

Join us for a practical and thoughtful Divergent Discussion with Starkeeper Morton, hosted by Karla Pretorius, Clinical Lead at Kaboose, as we explore wellbeing through a neurodivergent lens.

Together we'll discuss:
💛 What wellbeing really means
💛 Neurodivergence, stress and burnout
💛 Managing energy and executive functioning
💛 Building sustainable routines
💛 Self-compassion and self-acceptance
💛 Creating environments that support wellbeing
💛 Practical strategies you can use every day

Ever spent all day thinking about a task that would take five minutes?

You know what needs doing. You want to do it. You may even be getting increasingly stressed about not doing it.

But starting still feels impossible.

That gap between intention and action can be an executive function challenge—not laziness, carelessness or a lack of effort.

When my brain won’t cooperate, more pressure rarely helps. Less friction does.

I try making the first step almost ridiculously small:

→ Open the document→ Put one plate in the sink→ Write the email subject line→ Set a five-minute timer→ Ask someone to body double with me

The aim isn’t always to finish. Sometimes it’s simply to make starting cost less.

Save this for the next “I know what to do, so why can’t I do it?” day—and explore Kaboose’s Neuro Nuggets for more practical, lived-experience support.

What helps you cross the gap between thinking and starting?
