Neurodiversity
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.
Beyond the Recognised Conditions
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.
Promoting Acceptance and Reducing Stigma
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.
