Plovm Weekly: Neurodiversity Insights & Global Headlines
Latest news on neurodiversity awareness and global events - including rising diagnosis rates, community celebrations, and current headlines
Hello Plovm Community,
Welcome to this week's curated collection of articles that matter. We've gathered perspectives on neurodiversity awareness alongside significant global events to keep you informed and engaged.
The rise in diagnoses reflects a long-overdue recognition of neurodivergence — particularly among girls, women, and people of color who were historically overlooked — rather than a sudden explosion in neurodivergent individuals.
Charlotte Hill, Ph.D., challenges alarmist rhetoric around increasing diagnosis rates, explaining how greater awareness and improved diagnostic criteria are finally recognizing those who were always neurodivergent.
A vibrant celebration of reading and neurodiversity took place on March 22 in Framlingham. The Wiggling Words Party marked Neurodiversity Celebration Week and the launch of dyslexic author Kate Rolfe's award-winning new book.
The town-wide event featured schools' artwork with fluorescent letters, a seven-meter-long castle made of letters, and interactive activities emphasizing diverse learning styles.
The movement to expand access to behavioral health care is gaining momentum—but one community has historically remained overlooked in national conversations: the neurodivergent.
That changed in a meaningful way last year when Solome Tibebu, Founder and CEO of Behavioral Health Tech, added dedicated neurodiversity programming to the conference lineup.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned it would be foolish to dismiss U.S. President Donald Trump's push for control of Greenland, saying the move is unsurprising given America's longtime interest in the mineral-rich territory.
"It is a profound mistake to treat it as some preposterous talk by the new U.S. administration. Nothing of the sort," Putin said, noting that the U.S. had similar plans "as far back as the 1860s."
Rescuers are working to pull people from the remains of the tower, which dramatically collapsed during Friday's earthquake. Emergency workers have detected signs of life from at least 15 people trapped beneath the debris.
The rescue operation continues around the clock as authorities coordinate a massive emergency response in the Thai capital.
Elon Musk and several top aides at the Department of Government Efficiency sat with Bret Baier, portraying themselves as public servants who just want to help improve America's balance sheets.

Spotlight: QuestVille's Routine Rockstar House
This week, we're highlighting one of QuestVille's most valuable tools for neurodivergent individuals - the Routine Rockstar house.
For many neurodivergent individuals, establishing and maintaining consistent daily routines can be challenging. The Routine Rockstar house provides practical tools to improve your daily routines and structures, tailored to your individual cognitive style.
Routine Tracker
The Routine Tracker helps you monitor and maintain consistent daily activities. It provides visual progress tracking, customizable routine templates, and gentle reminders to help you stay on course without feeling overwhelmed.
Agenda
The Agenda feature offers a neurodivergent-friendly approach to scheduling. With visual cues, time blocks that account for transitions, and flexible rescheduling options, it helps you plan your day in a way that works with your natural thinking patterns.
As one user shared: "The Routine Tracker and Agenda tools have transformed my daily life. Before Plovm, I struggled with traditional planners, but these tools actually work with my brain. I'm now able to maintain a consistent schedule without the constant stress and overwhelm."
