Neurodiversity: A Brief Overview

Neurodiversity is a concept that recognizes and celebrates the natural variation in human neurological traits, including differences in cognition, behavior, and sensory processing. It emphasizes that diverse neurological conditions, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others, are a normal part of the human experience, rather than mere deficits or disorders.

This perspective encourages understanding and acceptance of individuals with diverse neurological profiles, promoting a more inclusive and accommodating society. Neurodiversity fosters the idea that each individual's unique cognitive abilities contribute to the richness of human culture, enhancing creativity, problem-solving, and innovation.
