What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, such as autism and ADHD are natural variations of the human brain, and should be embraced rather than pathologized. It also highlights the natural variation in human cognition, rejecting a single "correct" way to think or learn. Coined by sociologist Judy Singer in the 1990s, it began with autism and now includes ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions.
