"Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one ‘right’ way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.”
– Baumer, N. & Frueh, J, 2021
Essentially, the term Neurodiversity means that everybody’s brain develops differently and no two are identical. To be Neurodiversity-Affirming, you accept and value both neurotypical and neurodivergent brain types.
People with diagnoses of Autism, ADHD, OCD, Tourette’s, Sensory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and more may consider themselves to be neurodivergent.
The Neurodiversity Movement emphasizes the fact that differences in neurological functioning are normal and valuable parts of human diversity.
