Paul Stevenson featured on Disability Power 100 List

Genius Within Ambassador Paul Stevenson has been listed in prestigious Shaw Trust Disability Power 100

The Shaw Trust has unveiled the 2024 Disability Power 100 list, recognising Paul Stevenson as one of the UK’s 100 most influential disabled individuals. Paul was nominated for his impactful work as a disability changemaker, contributing to a shift in perceptions and breaking down stereotypes around Tourette Syndrome. His work includes extensive support and advocacy for individuals with TS, ADHD, OCD and other neurodivergent conditions.

In his work here at Genius Within Paul brings invaluable personal insight and authenticity.  His role involves collaborating with organisations to foster inclusive work environments, sharing his own lived experience through public speaking, and supporting neurodivergent talent and creativity.

This recognition comes from a selection process that involved public nominations and evaluation by a distinguished panel of 25 disabled leaders, including international business leader Dr. Shani Dhanda, Chief Executive of Paralympics GB David Clark, and Coronation Street actor Cherylee Houston.

Paul has also been acknowledged for his advocacy with key organisations such as Tourettes Action, Tic & Hull Yorkshire, Tourettes Scotland, Tourette Italia, and TTAG (Tourettes and Tics globally). His active participation in numerous research studies on tics and Tourette’s Syndrome (TS) has contributed substantially to advancements in the understanding and treatment of these conditions.

One of Paul’s notable achievements has been his involvement in the award-winning animation, For the Love of God, Just Refer Me, which garnered over 500,000 views within its first week of release. This project exemplifies his dedication to raising awareness and changing perspectives on Tourette Syndrome and neurodiversity.
