Round-up towards New Year's Day 2025
The following information below shows a summary of developments and projects during the remaining months of 2024 from October through to New Year's Day 2025.
Creative
A new style presentation design was developed for a new style information awareness Project "Smarter Understanding" This is part of redesigning the awareness feature differences originals
New details soon
December marked a special 21st anniversary since developing original and stylish creative Christmas designs. To coincide with this occasion, a special online special is developed to enable online visitors to explore different creative examples over the years. Also, a special creative montage to celebrate the 21st creative festive year.
As part of the same creative festive year, a new combined design was made, which is featured as part of the presentation of the festive online feature, which was available for December and into the New Year.
12 months after designing an interactive digital organiser for volunteering for
Latinmotion NYE Fest, an updated version was developed. This document was expanded and involved; this coincides with my expanding role as a point of call role (a mini supervisory duty for all volunteers on the same timescale).

Awareness
I have started to redesign the awareness online feature Differences Originals as part of transforming my awareness website.
As part of the new changes a new information project became online.
See under Combined projects details of the new "Smarter Understanding" projects.
Major changes affecting the awareness feature for supporting events
Major changes have been made in developing content for supporting awareness events. Due to focusing more on connecting awareness matters with communities & society, I had to limit the number of events to support and be more selective in developing content for supporting events.
For the third year in a row, a special advisory feature was made for selected neurodivergent families friends and direct contacts during the festive season on the Plus value awareness website
When attending the UK's largest Latin dancing New Year's event, I shared a special "Embrace Dancing" awareness campaign video for dance teachers & key participants at Latinmotion NYE Fest. This was shown on New Year's Day. The was recieved with some positive feedback.

Special Developments
Following an article featured in The Telegraph newspaper in December 2024, I took action. The story headline wrongly stuck with ties every autistic man. This was regarding the disgraced television personality Greg Wallace, who made offensive remarks to think he's inappropriate behaviour with the autistic spectrum.
The action I took against the Telegraph newspaper is part of a wider problem with misrepresentation, especially for those with invisible disabilities, neurodiverse individuals and those living with anxiety. I wrote an insight analysis document on the representation of disabilities and difficulties related to public authorities, government, parliament and the media.

Focusing on the content linked with my annual festive, specific greetings and promoting my awareness dancing feature Embrace Dancing.
