Labour has pledged to appoint a shadow minister for neurodiversity. As well as dyslexia, the term neurodiversity encompasses numerous other conditions, such as Autistic Spectrum, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Tourette Syndrome, and others. The neurodiversity shadow minister's role would be to ensure the issue was given the same prominence as tackling racial and sexual discrimination. 


John McDonnell MP stated: “We want to represent the whole of society fairly. At the moment we are focusing on LGBT, we’re focusing on women, we’re focusing on race, etc. But what about neurological diversity as well? And I think that’s come on to the agenda.”
