<div>Dexter’s Mission
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dexter’s Mission started with a simple question.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I asked my son, Dexter, what he wanted to be when he grows up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dexter has ADHD. We have always spoken about this openly, not as something to be hidden or corrected, but as part of who he is. Neurodiversity is not a flaw. It is a difference that should be visible, valued, and celebrated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His answer stayed with me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He said he wanted to create something that goes into schools. Not just to help children with ADHD understand themselves, but to help everyone else see it too. As he put it, “The hardest part isn’t me having ADHD. It’s when other people don’t get it.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That idea never left him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More recently, while choosing a book at school with a teaching assistant, Dexter realised there were no books that represented him. He said he had only ever seen a couple of books about autism, and none that reflected ADHD or neurodiversity more broadly in a positive, everyday way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No characters like him.
</div>
<div>No stories that celebrate difference.
</div>
<div>No quiet message that his brain is something to be proud of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That moment is where Dexter’s Mission stopped being an idea and became something real.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is the first step in bringing Dexter’s vision to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dexter’s Mission is a child-led project built on a simple belief: neurodiversity should be part of school culture, not something explained only when a problem arises.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Schools often have policies around inclusion, and when concerns are raised, many respond with care and commitment. That support matters. But it is often reactive. By the time intervention is needed, children are already navigating misunderstanding or stigma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The aim of Dexter’s Mission is to close that gap.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Children should grow up already knowing that different brains exist, that they bring different strengths, and that those differences make classrooms richer. Neurodiversity should be something children admire and value, not something they are taught to tolerate or make allowances for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A growing collection of age-appropriate books that positively represent and celebrate neurodiversity
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Neurodiversity-friendly spaces within schools that make difference visible and valued
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Practical tools such as fidget toys that support focus, regulation, and inclusion
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Support for schools to do more during key celebration moments, including Neurodiversity Celebration Week, Neurodiversity Pride Day, and condition-specific months such as ADHD Awareness Month
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will be shared across multiple schools. Dexter’s school will be one of the first to receive resources, but this project is not about a single school. It is about building something that can grow, spread, and reach more children over time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Dexter’s Mission develops, the ambition is to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate books and resources to additional schools
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Build social media pages to share learning, celebration, and progress
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Create a website as the project grows, making ideas and resources accessible to more communities
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be used directly for books, resources, and materials donated to schools. There is no personal benefit to me, and transparency will always be central to this project.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This may have started with a conversation in a car, but it is driven by a child who believes that difference should be celebrated before it ever needs to be explained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dexter is ten years old.
</div>
<div>He has ADHD.
</div>
<div>And he believes his brain is something to be proud of.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dexter’s Mission is just beginning.
