Special Contact to the nation's leader

Keith Mckenzie • August 28, 2026

I have developed very special tasks with contacting & providing specialised material for the Leader of the United Kingdom. My message and materials have been created to communicate my background, my development, my challenges and my lived experiences, while highlighting the importance of listening to perspectives from neurodivergent backgrounds.


Summary
This was created following the change of Prime Minister in July 2026. The aim was to explain my background, my development and my challenges, and to encourage greater attention to lived experiences, particularly those from neurodivergent backgrounds.

This followed previous administrations using distorted judgements to announce policies that have caused harmful levels of stigma towards neurodivergent people like myself, as well as towards disabled people more broadly. I have also offered my awareness insights and lived experiences, together with my suggestions, potential solutions and opportunities for collaboration, to help ensure that lived experience and context can contribute to positive decision-making.


Message, materials & special online pages

The message provides online links to a special webpage containing a collection of downloads and specially created materials.

These include a press kit, a collection of development summaries covering creativity, awareness, participation and dancing, a collaboration proposal, and a summary document containing links to publications, downloads and my online resources.


I may not receive a reply, but I hope that the message and information provided will help to shape government policies that do not stigmatise or demonise disabled and neurodivergent people for the wrong reasons, including misconceptions and generalised conclusions.
