Imagine if no single way of thinking dominated. What if workplaces valued structured logic and fluid creativity equally?

I love Kandinsky’s Composition VIII (1923)—a distinct metaphor: diverse shapes, lines, and colours coexisting in harmony, each contributing to the whole. This is what Cognitive Equity could look like.

Join @Rhea D’Lima and me for "Live Session 3" on Feb 17 for an unfiltered conversation on neurodivergence in the workplace.

✨Some of the most profound moments in a school don’t happen in big meetings or carefully structured interventions. They happen in the quiet in-betweens—when a teaching assistant kneels beside a learner who’s stuck ✏️, offers a steady presence to a child in sensory overload 🌿, or instinctively shifts a lesson so it actually lands 🎯. These aren’t just small gestures. They are the moments that make learning possible.

As a school counsellor (and someone who has spent a lifetime noticing the unnoticed) 👀, I see how TAs shape the daily experience of students in ways that often go unspoken. They are the first to sense when a child needs space, movement, or a different kind of connection 💡. They track the tiny victories 🏆. They know when a student isn’t just ‘distracted’ but is holding on by a thread 🧵. Their work is human, essential, and deeply skilled.

I’m hosting this session to bring those insights to the forefront. To recognise, reflect, and strengthen the bridge between counselling and classroom support 🤝. Whether you’re a TA, a teacher, or simply someone who values the magic that happens in the in-betweens, come join me.

Closing Neurodiversity Week on The Dolly Show was the right kind of conversation—one that didn’t just highlight neurodistinct experiences but centered humans in all their gorgeous complexity.

@RheaD’lima, a clinical psychologist, and I, a Neurodistinct AuDHD psychotherapist, come at this work from different angles, but we are more than co-workers. We are collaborators, co-thinkers, creators—always seeking to understand, always questioning, always reimagining what real inclusion looks like. It’s not about tweaking things at the edges or making space within rigid structures. It’s about reshaping those structures entirely so that people aren’t just accommodated but actually belong.

@Dolly Jiandani Thakkar     held the space, guiding a conversation that honored the richness of human experience. These discussions matter, but what we do next—how we challenge, build, and hold institutions to account—is what really brings change.

"Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future".

A Just Transition Starts with Human Dignity

I had this thought today while reflecting on The World Day of Social Justice and this year’s theme, "Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future." We talk so much about sustainability in terms of the planet—reducing waste, shifting economies, creating greener jobs—but what about the people caught in the transition?

As we approach the upcoming International Neurodiversity Week, I'm thrilled to share a significant milestone in my journey – I was recently invited to Kolkata to receive an award from the "Mother Teresa International Committee 2024" for my international work in social projects serving neuro minorities. This accolade holds profound personal significance, rooted in my own neurodivergent experiences and fueled by a commitment to fostering inclusivity.
