First meeting: Neurodiversity history and language
On the first day we laid out the timeline I created. Showing a basic history of neurodiversity.
I also bought along ‘Percy’ who I created for a previous activity at the Wellcome Collection. Where we wrote a message to Percy on how we would feel or how we think Percy might have felt being the first dyslexic.
We then discussed language and made labels about positive, negative, debatable and situational words.
Throughout the research we kept a reflective journal where we wrote our thoughts from each session and pasted photographs to reflect over the following week.
