Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is a concept that recognizes and values the diversity of human brains and cognitive functioning. It posits that variations in the human brain, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurological conditions, are natural and beneficial aspects of human existence rather than deficits or disorders. The neurodiversity movement advocates for acceptance, inclusion, and support for individuals with these differences, emphasizing that they should not be pathologized or stigmatized. Instead, it encourages understanding and accommodating diverse neurological experiences in society, education, and the workplace. The goal is to promote respect for different ways of thinking and processing information, fostering an environment where neurodiverse individuals can thrive.
