Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity means that brains naturally have differences and that’s ok. These differences should be respected and celebrated. Just like there’s no “normal” or “right” way to be a certain gender, race, or part of a culture, there’s no one “normal” way for brains to develop. It’s about understanding and appreciating the diverse ways people’s brains work.
These differences can include:
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- Dyspraxia
- Dyslexia
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), where the young person has co-occurring mental health needs
- Dyscalculia
- Tics and Tourette’s Syndrome, where the young person has co-occurring mental health needs
