Abigail Agyei-Jones MBE is an award-winning diversity champion and neurodiversity advocate with ADHD and Dyspraxia.
In this chat with Ben, Abigail shares the internalised shame she’s faced over struggling with everyday tasks—like driving and tying shoelaces—and unpacks the unique barriers Black neurodivergent children encounter in accessing support.
She also reveals the real story behind her departure from the civil service.
