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.
Forms of Neurodiversity
Autism
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental condition characterized by differences in communication, behavior, and social interaction, affecting everyone in different ways.
ADHD
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can impact daily functioning and development.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word reading, spelling, and decoding abilities, despite adequate intelligence and educational opportunity.
