Hello friends,
It's been a little while since our last round-up, and a great deal has grown in that time. The biggest news first: NeuroHub is now a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, NeuroHub Connect CIC. Below you'll find what that means, and everything we've made over the last six weeks.
NeuroHub Connect CIC: a new foundation
Everything we do now sits under one roof: our community, courses, conference, research and publishing. A CIC exists to benefit a community rather than private shareholders. That means two things:
- An asset lock; what we build, and any surplus we make, has to be used for the community.
- Public accountability; each year we report to the CIC Regulator on what we've done for the people we serve.
NeuroHub has always been Autistic-led and community-first. Becoming a CIC writes that into our foundations, and opens doors to grants and partnerships that help keep more of our work free or low-cost. Day to day, very little changes: same people, same community, same links.

New: Neurodivergent News
Neurodivergent News is our new news service about neurodivergent people and the decisions that affect us; UK first, then the rest of the world. Every story asks the question that so often gets skipped: how does this affect neurodivergent people?
- A calm daily issue, with headlines, short summaries and a PDF edition
- A Research section explaining new papers in plain English, linked to the original study
- Built-in accessibility settings, including a dyslexia-friendly font, line spacing and reduced motion

New: NeuroHub Zine, the Library of Neurodivergent Alexandria
NeuroHub Zine is a free, open archive of neurodivergent writing, videos and podcasts, with no paywall and no adverts. A new issue comes out every Friday, and you can wander its themed Halls, such as "Finding Our People" and "Burnout and Coming Back".
It can only become the biggest library of neurodivergent knowledge on the internet with your help. You can send us original writing, share a link to something you've made, or let the Library follow your blog, channel or podcast. You keep the copyright.
