Our friends and allies at Randimals have a saying,
What makes us different, makes all the difference in the world.
Randimals
We agree.
Randimals are made up of two different animals which means they are a unique blend of personalities, characteristics, instincts and skills.
The heart of the Randimals story is about celebrating difference. It’s about recognizing that we are all unique and that we all have something extremely wonderful and special to offer.

I seek a reconceptualization of cognitive difference, to the end that those who bear now-stigmatizing labels of “deviance,” “disorder” and “syndrome,” may live and manifest their individuality, distinctive interests, gifts and capacities with integrity, in a manner that comes naturally to them, free of pressure to become people they are not, free of the automatic assignation of inferior status; and that they may enjoy the respect of their fellow citizens, rather than disdain and exclusion.
