Gaming often gets a bad reputation, but it offers numerous benefits, especially for neurodivergent individuals. Many neurodiverse young people spend their lives in survival mode, navigating challenging environments - not just physically, but socially. The pressure to fit in, the fear of making mistakes, and the constant effort to mask can be exhausting. It's crucial for them to find spaces where they can relax and be themselves.

In our latest episode, Marlon Huggins shares his inspiring story and the founding of SHYNNE. Last year, Marlon launched gaming events for neurodiverse children and young adults in Barnet, and thanks to a National Lottery grant, these community events can continue to thrive. Marlon’s experience caring for his neurodiverse sisters motivated him to create this vital support network outside of school. These gatherings help build connections, confidence, social skills, and overall well-being, all in a pressure-free environment where everyone shares a common interest.
