This resolution officially recognizes March 16 to 20, 2026, as Neurodiversity Celebration Week in Kentucky, aiming to raise public awareness about the unique strengths and potential of neurodivergent individuals, which include people with conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. The resolution highlights that neurodiversity encompasses a significant portion of the population, with many Kentuckians on the autism spectrum, and emphasizes that outdated language and stigma create barriers for these individuals, particularly in employment, despite their valuable contributions to workplaces and communities. It also acknowledges Neurodiversity Celebration Week as a global initiative, established in 2018, that seeks to challenge misconceptions and foster inclusive environments where differences are celebrated and all individuals are empowered.
