What is neurodiversity?
A word to describe how our brains work in unique ways
It describes conditions like ADHD or autism as differences not disorders
Brains are complicated. Understatement. It’s pretty difficult to know how someone else’s works, and the way we think varies from person to person. We all have different strengths or struggles. These differences can be more noticeable or clear for neurodivergent people.
Our brains fall into two categories - neurotypical or neurodivergent. To be neurodivergent means having a brain that works in less common ways. This might mean someone finds it easier to hear information instead of reading it, while someone with another neurodiversity might find things like lots of noise or certain lighting overwhelming.
Neurodiversity describes lots of ways our brains can function. That includes ADHD, Dyspraxia, OCD, Dyslexia and more.
