About The Hidden 20%:

20% of the world are believed to be neurodivergent [ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Tourettes], that’s 1.6 billion people!

But the stats & status quo is shocking & need sorting!

40% of ND adults are unemployed.
70% of ND employees suffer with mental health issues.
94% of autistic children are bullied.
85% of children diagnosed dyslexic are ashamed of it.

Suicide is the 2nd biggest cause of death for autistics

Up to 85% of people in prison are believed to be ND

Waiting times for NHS ADHD assessments can be up to 10 years.

These stats are in stark contrast to the significant and undeniable contribution ND’ers can make to society, just ask Agatha Christie, Steve Jobs, Marilyn Monroe, Isaac Newton, Picasso, Elvis, Greta Thunberg, Charles Darwin to name a few! The Hidden 20% is an award-winning charity on a mission to rewrite the future for Neurodivergents by breaking the cycle of shame, silence & suffering through representation, role models and media.

Having successfully tested this approach in 2024 using Podcast, PR, Social, Digital, Speaking events and Advertising media we are now stepping it up a gear for 2025 to reach more people with our message.
