Neurodivergence describes the natural differences in how people’s brains develop and function. It includes a wide range of conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s syndrome, and others.
These variations influence how individuals learn, communicate, focus, and process information. Neurodivergent people may think or behave differently from what society considers “typical” — but those differences are part of the normal variation of human brains.
Key ideas to understand:
Neurodiversity is the concept that all brains are unique, and diversity in thinking is both natural and valuable.
Neurodivergent refers to individuals whose brains function in ways that differ from what is considered neurotypical.
Inclusion matters: Creating flexible learning, working, and social environments allows everyone to reach their potential.
Language matters: Using respectful terms and listening to neurodivergent voices helps build understanding and reduces stigma.
Happy Friday! Be kind!
