Different by Design
A bold look at the lived experiences of neurodifferent UK veterans
Led by: Ria Jackson, veteran, neuroinclusion leader, founder of Inclusive Minds UK

WHAT THIS IS...
- Â
-
A white paper built on lived experience—not just theory
-
A call to action for the MoD, NHS, and universities
-
The foundation of a future PhD to make neuroinclusion standard—not optional
-
An opportunity for YOU to shape what comes next
Â

WHAT WE’VE FOUND SO FAR...
(preface sneak peek):
Â
-
Neurodifferent veterans are still invisible in key support systems
-
Transition support often misses the mark for ND minds
-
There’s huge untapped strength in our stories—and we’re done pretending
Â

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Â
-
UK Armed Forces veterans, who identify as neurodifferent—diagnosed or self-identified
-
Any branch, any background, any timeline
-
No formal paperwork needed, just your lived experience and time
Â
Â

YOU DECIDE HOW YOU TAKE PART:
Â
-
Video, audio, written, voice note—it’s your call
-
Anonymity options always available
-
We’ll support you with access needs if we can—we mean that
- We estimate around 45–90 minutes, depending on what you want to share.
No pressure. No rush.
