Transformation of Valuing Hidden Differences has started

Keith Mckenzie • January 13, 2026


On my awareness website, you may have noticed with the changes of appearance of the online information project which explore examples on valuing a person beyond understanding and acceptance.

The new look is the first phase of some changes which will be linked with Plus Value Awareness forthcoming objective changes approach to improve understanding

The project's webpages incorporate a new visual design system which contests an asterisk shape with a new family of visual imagery which represents the elements of the project.

Further developments
Further changes to the "Valuing Hidden Differences" project including the project is to be renamed (linked with the forthcoming objective changes of plus value awareness) and the text of the website will be converted to the new design standards implemented which are being rolled out since late 2023.

History
The project was originally titled "Value is" in 2016 and then was changed to "Valuing Hidden Differences" in 2021 with some of the original elements transferred to other projects however the presentation was not updated.

Conclusion and plan of action
When the improvements are completed it will enable to explore the importance of valuing and validation of a neurodivergent with hidden differences.

Keep updated on further developments on this blog and on social media.
