Neurodiversity is the idea that there’s a wide variety among the way people’s brains work.
Conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and dyslexia reflect those natural differences in how people think and learn. People with these diagnoses are often described as neurodivergent, because their brains work differently than what’s considered typical.
Neurodiversity challenges the belief that there’s one “right” way to be. But for many, it remains a misunderstood topic.
