Neurodivergence refers to individuals whose brains function in ways that are different from what's considered typical. It's an umbrella term encompassing a variety of conditions, including:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
People with neurodivergence may experience the world differently in terms of:
Information processing
Learning styles
Sensory processing
Communication styles
Social interaction
The concept of neurodiversity emphasizes that these variations are not inherently negative. Many neurodivergent people have unique strengths and talents.
For instance, people with ADHD may be highly creative and energetic, and autistic individuals may excel at focus and pattern recognition.
It's important to note that neurodivergence can also present challenges. Some people may struggle with social interaction, organization, or communication.
The key takeaway is that neurodiversity is a spectrum, and every individual's experience is unique.
