Eunsoo Lee is a junior at Saint Paul Preparatory Seoul from Seoul, South Korea. After her brother was diagnosed with ADHD and NVLD, Eunsoo became interested in neurodiversity. She has been uploading cartoons about the ADHD family life on Instagram (@koala.turtle.mom).

 

Eunsoo is also a SNP-REACH alumna. After attending the camp in the summer of 2023, she created Spring Sunshine (@spring.sunshine.neurodiversity), a youth-led neurodiversity advocacy group. One of Spring Sunshine’s main goals is to bring educational equity to neurodivergent teens in South Korea. In order to find out more about the difficulties faced by South Korean teens with ADHD and the accommodations they need, Spring Sunshine conducted research on this topic through a survey. The details of the survey will be discussed in greater detail at the speaker meeting.

 

Another important goal Spring Sunshine is striving to achieve is to raise awareness of neurodiversity, increase understanding of neurodivergent individuals, and foster inclusive environments, beginning with the local community: South Korea. This is why, in 2024, Spring Sunshine co-hosted the first Neurodiversity Celebration Week in South Korea. Spring Sunshine is looking forward to a more neurodiversity-friendly South Korean future.

 

In her free time, Eunsoo likes to read novels, write short fiction stories, and thrift and remake thrifted clothes!
