Neurodiversity
What is Neurodiversity?
‘Neurodiversity’ refers to the natural diversity in human brains.
Neurodivergence is the term for when someone’s brain processes, learns, and/or behaves differently from what is considered “typical”. Some neurodivergent conditions include:
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia (also called Developmental Coordination Disorder, or DCD)
- Dyscalculia
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
These conditions very often co-occur and many symptoms overlap.
