First Thursday of November.
A day for asking what our brains need. The next one is Thursday 5 November 2026.
What happens
on the day.
We ask the people around us what their brains need, and we answer the question for ourselves. Nobody needs a diagnosis to ask or to answer. Organisations on the Register show what they have changed.
Four steps
Ask. Listen. Act. Check back.
- Step 1
Ask.
Ask what their brain needs, and mean it. You never need to know their diagnosis.
- Step 2
Listen.
Take the answer in whatever way it comes: words, writing, symbols or sign.
- Step 3
Act.
Change one thing, and say out loud what you changed.
- Step 4
Check back.
Ask again later whether it worked, and keep going until it does.
Mark it where you are.
-
At work.
Share your card with your manager, and agree one thing that will change.
-
At school.
Ask your school what it will change for the way your brain learns.
-
At home.
Tell the people closest to you what helps, in whatever way suits you.
