Neurodiversity

Understanding Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them
in many ways, with no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences
are not deficits. Neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of
autism spectrum disorder and other neurological or developmental disorders such as ADHD or dyslexia.  -National Library of Medicine
