Jess Meredith is a renowned and dynamic neurodiversity speaker, known for her unique perspectives that captivate and inspire audiences, and ignite transformative conversations. Sheis also a leading advocate for neuroinclusion, sought-after facilitator and social entrepreneur; championing social justice, with a particular interest in inclusion.

Jess founded Differing Minds CIC through sheer frustration of the mainstream narrative around neurodiversity. She felt compelled to share what she was learning as she navigated the complexity of parenting children in the neurominority and successfully reframed her ownthinking. She shares an enlightening, neuroaffirmative approach and specialises in simplifying complexity through interactivity and storytelling.

Through her work with Differing Minds, she is celebrated for pioneering neuroinclusion strategies in workplaces, schools and within families, and trusted by the likes of Accenture, Freshfields, The Adecco Group and the NHS.

Fuelled by her passion to teach all children about neurodiversity, Jess is the creator ofgroundbreaking neurodiversity lessons for schools, endorsed by Peter Kyle MP. These lessons transform how neurodivergent children embrace their identities and how their peers understandand support them. They are truly game changing for schools, teachers, pupils and most importantly, the future of our society. Whilst advising parliament – Matt Hancock MP – on the proposed Neurodiversity Screening Bill, Jess emphasised the need to teach children about neurodiversity for true neuroinclusion and neurodivergent empowerment, which was widely agreed.

Prior to neuroinclusion advocacy, Jess’ career spanned data, marketing, consulting, technologyand more, from start ups to global corporations. Alongside generating new revenue streams and running multi-million dollar cost saving initiatives, Jess always found time for inclusion projects. Driven by her long standing interest in embracing difference, she mobilised and accelerated inclusion networks and teams in every organisation she worked in.

Jess is a parent carer to neurodiverse children and an adult-identified neurodivergent herself, committed to raising a family with a neuroaffirmative approach. Jess lives with stress, depression and PTSD, and feels passionately about improving society’s understanding of the link between neurodivergence and mental health. Jess is a nominee of a National Diversity Award for Positive Role Model for Disability and is wholeheartedly driven by her mission to make everyone, and everywhere, neuroinclusive.
