15 Years of Vitality360: Reflections from Our Founder/Director on the World of Fatigue and Pain

Over the last 15 years, the landscape of pain and fatigue has grown increasingly complex, marked by broader public awareness alongside severe NHS service cutbacks and an expanding "postcode lottery" for care.

While the emergence of Long Covid and a stronger recognition of the overlap with neurodivergence have deepened our understanding, patients face growing challenges from polarised views on movement, social media misinformation, and social pressures like trauma and financial stress. Ultimately, despite gains in societal recognition, access to clinical support has regressed, leaving a vital need to translate greater awareness into compassionate, individualised care.

What does it mean to us to be described as a neuro-affirming business and workplace?

For me, it’s not a corporate buzzword or a box-ticking exercise; it is my daily reality.

Working at Vitality360 with a late diagnosis of Autism and ME/CFS, I have experienced firsthand the profound shift from a world that forces unique minds into standard corporate moulds to one that actively reshapes the environment around them. Whether we are supporting the 32% of our clients who are neurodivergent and battling chronic fatigue or adapting our internal policies, we believe in viewing capability through a whole new lens. Below, I share the core principles of a truly neuro-affirming organisation, grounded in both my professional expertise and my lived experience.
