Women Beyond The Box is proud to launch the UK’s first list showcasing 50 Influential Neurodivergent Women. It is estimated that at least 10% of the UK population is Neurodivergent, that is Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Autism, ADHD and Tourette’s.


The list was born from a desire to amplify the voices of women who are creating ripples of change within their industries by challenging the narrative around Neurodiversity. We are Female Founders, Scientists, Designers, Creatives, Artists, Actresses and Activists.

Collectively we are starting fresh conversations that reach beyond the Neurodivergent community and inspiring the next generation of Neurodivergent women. 

For more information or if you would like to learn more about the women featured on our list, please visit womenbeyondthebox.com.
