Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is a positive approach to thinking about a collection of brain-based disorders including: Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Apraxia, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Pathological Demand Avoidance, Anxiety, and other neurological and mental health conditions. Instead of seeing the brain as flawed, the idea is that neurological conditions are the result of normal variations in the human genome that have been present throughout history and have many positive qualities. With this mindset the struggles associated with neurodiversity do not stem from the person, but from the mismatch between the neurodivergent person and the environment or society they live in.
