Frequently Asked Questions

Neurodiversity

  • What is neurodiversity?

    Neurodiversity refers to the idea that there is natural variation in human brains and that this diversity should be recognized and respected. The concept of neurodiversity originated within the autism community but has since been expanded to include other neurological conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette's syndrome, and more.

    Neurodiversity is not a diagnosis or a medical condition, but rather a social and political concept that recognizes the value of diversity in human cognition and behavior.

  • What is the neurodiversity movement?

    The neurodiversity movement seeks to challenge the notion that certain neurological conditions are "abnormal" or "disordered" and instead advocates for acceptance and accommodation of these differences. Proponents of neurodiversity believe that neurodivergent individuals should be celebrated for their unique strengths and abilities and that society should strive to create an inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.
