FE Soundbite 738 – Levy Reform, Good, Bad or too Late?
Welcome to FE Soundbite Edition 738, March 23rd, 2024: Levy Reform, Good, Bad or too Late? This is the weekly e-newsletter and e-journal by FE…
Neurodiversity celebrates the inherent variations in neurological conditions, emphasising that conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and others are natural expressions of the human brain. Instead of viewing these conditions as disorders or abnormalities, neurodiversity recognises them as normal variations within the human population.
Neurodiversity extends beyond well-known conditions to encompass any neurological variation that affects the brain or nervous system. This includes conditions that may not be as widely recognized but are equally important in understanding the diverse range of human experiences.
Central to the neurodiversity movement is the promotion of acceptance and the reduction of stigma surrounding neurodivergent individuals. Instead of focusing on “normal” or “typical” behavior, neurodiversity encourages a shift in societal attitudes towards understanding and accommodating diverse ways of thinking and experiencing the world.
As advocates for neurodiversity, we’ve established a community on LinkedIn where we share insightful articles and foster discussions on this important topic. Become a part of our community here to enhance your understanding and contribute to the ongoing conversation.
