More about neurodiversity

Neurodiversity refers to the natural diversity in human brains.  This is a biological fact that should be embraced, and no brain type should be considered more valid than another.  

Neurodivergence is the term used when a person’s brain processes, learns, and / or behaves differently from what is considered ‘typical’.  Conditions classified as forms of neurodivergence include autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and ADHD.  These conditions very often co-occur and over-lap, meaning a child or young person can experience more than one simultaneously.
