Dates, answered
A few dates worth remembering.
Clear answers with direct links to the original organisations. Annual dates and annual programme themes are not the same thing.
When is Neurodiversity Pride Day?
16 June each year. The seven themed days of ND Pride Week were introduced in the official 2026 programme; their 2027 edition has not yet been confirmed by the organisers. See the seven-day reference →
When is Brain Awareness Week 2027?
15–21 March 2027, confirmed by the Dana Foundation. This calendar does not attribute daily themed events to the organiser. See the verified week →
When is the Neurodiversity Foundation's symbolic birthday?
15 February. This is an NDF symbolic milestone, not the legal registration date, and it is not 15 June. Read the entry →
Credibility matters
Dates deserve context.
We distinguish confirmed annual dates, edition-specific announcements and proposed or community-led observances.
Original sources
Each record links to an organiser, institution or research source where known.
Year-by-year checks
A recurring observance does not automatically guarantee a confirmed 2027 programme.
Editorial checks and community feedback
We check dates and high-impact claims before release. Specialist reviews and corrections can continue after publication unless a specific safety or cultural review is needed first.
How this calendar is researched →
Our editorial commitmentNot every day is an official UN day.
Not every day is an official UN day.
And not every awareness day should be a campaign.
We distinguish UN observances, community campaigns and organisation-specific milestones. Every intended public page needs source/date and proportionate editorial checks plus independent owner release; specialist feedback can follow publication unless a serious unresolved page-specific gate applies.
This calendar is compiled from publicly available information, including materials from organisers, public institutions and communities. Despite careful research, information may be incomplete, inaccurate or outdated. Dates, names and practices can differ between countries, communities and years. Consult the linked original sources when accuracy matters. If you notice a possible mistake, please contact the Neurodiversity Foundation through its official website so we can investigate and correct substantiated errors. This calendar provides general information, not medical or legal advice.

Discover the people behind the day.
Every observance is an invitation to learn from those who created it, care for it or document its history. Each date now points outward to original initiatives and supporting information, with no more than five links.
