Welcome to our community:
Head to the “What We Do” section of our menu to find out about sessions and drop-ins we have coming up.
Ethos
DIFFERabled offer Neuro-Affirming support, information, and learning opportunities that empower, enlighten and promote neurodivergent understanding and inclusivity in society, while challenging the here and now, and striving to do better.
We aim to empower and equip our community with the ability to self advocate and improve the wellbeing of themselves and their loved ones.
Our caring, informative and supportive organisation has a wonderful network of parents, carers and neurodivergent people of all ages, with or without a formal diagnosis.
Culture
At DIFFERabled, we understand how important it is to have personal lived experience, and so we are proud that all staff, volunteers and board members bring their own valuable and unique understanding to their role.
Our dynamic organisation was discovered in 2014 by parents that wanted better for their children. We became a constituted charity in 2017; based in North Glasgow, but stretching across all of Scotland and onwards.
Identity
As DIFFERabled has grown and evolved over the years, we felt it important to define what we have become and develop our future. So with this, a new logo and brand identity was created in 2024.
We consulted our community and volunteers when creating our logo, and we are really proud of it! Here is some information on it’s meaning:
A face looks forward and upward to symbolise looking ahead and moving onward.
The circle around the face represents being “in our own time and space” which is the Māori definition of Autism; Takiwātanga. The circle also signifies the “circle of trust” we have within our community.
A star shining ahead symbolises the future being bright and how neurodivergent people can be in tune with their spiritual senses,
The brain is in abstract form, to represent how neurodivergent people think differently when navigating the world.
The text is rounded, friendly and easy to read.
Purple / Indigo is a recognised colour to symbolise Inclusivity, plus a spiritual representation.
Gold / Yellow is identified as the colour for Neurodivergence.
Red is a nod to maintaining our original brand colour.
