Understanding Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity encompasses the
idea that individuals interact with
the world in diverse ways, rejec琀椀ng
the no琀椀on of a single "right" way
of thinking or behaving. Instead,
di昀昀erences are celebrated as unique
strengths rather than viewed as
de昀椀cits (Harvard Health).
The term "neurodivergent" denotes individuals
who may possess certain diagnoses or
condi琀椀ons, such as au琀椀sm and A琀琀en琀椀on
De昀椀cit/Hyperac琀椀vity Disorder (ADHD),
alongside associated skills. It's crucial to
recognise that neurodiversity extends beyond
these commonly known condi琀椀ons to
encompass a broad spectrum of neurotypes.
