You Subscribed to The Neurodiversity Newsletter. But Now what?
If you’re new here, welcome.
Here’s a quick intro to who I am and what this newsletter is really about.
I’ve spent the last 15+ years working with professionals and students across Ghana 🇬🇭, Great Britain 🇬🇧, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Germany 🇩🇪, Australia 🦘, and the U.S. 🇺🇸 - helping schools and businesses create better environments for people to learn, grow, and work well together.
I’ve:
Taught special education from 3rd grade through adult programs
Advised ministries and school networks
Written a couple of books based on what actually works with real students in real schools — not theory, real practice
And established a company focused on helping people do their best work by shaping better systems and spaces
Trained thousands of teachers and leaders in how to support learning, behavior, communication, and real collaboration
Wrote a children's book about farts. Seriously. (I debated whether or not to add this here, but it’s a good laugh and well worth the $15)
Why I started The Neurodiversity Newsletter:
Neurodiversity is more than “a population”.
Every person brings something different to the table. That shows up in four key ways — what I call the 4 Pillars or 4 Key Strengths:
How we think and learn (Cognition & Learning)
How we communicate and interact (Communication & Interaction)
How we regulate emotions and connect socially (Social-Emotional Strengths)
How we plan, organize, and follow through (Executive Functioning)
These aren’t just categories in your learning profile. They’re the building blocks of how everyone functions — kids, execs, teachers, directors, teams, families.
This newsletter is about designing environments that support those pillars well — not with jargon or programs, but with real, practical tools.
Upstream of buzzwords. Not initiatives. Just real people. Real work. Real progress.
Some issues people keep coming back to:

📌 Tools For High Performers With ADHD
📌 Neurodiversity Needs the Right Ecosystem (How Healthy Cultures Help People Thrive)
📌 How to Build a School That Works for EVERY Student
We're sitting at 1,500+ subscribers now across all channels - from educators to executives, nonprofit leaders to parents - all working to make our systems a little more people-focused and a whole lot more effective.
If that’s you, I’m glad you're here. If something resonates, pass it along.
Let’s keep building.
As always, reach out to me at adam@legacy-ed.com. I'd love to talk!
