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
- Tourette’s syndrome
