\"\"What is it?<\/h3>\n

Neurodiversity <\/span>refers to the idea that all of our brains are different. There is a <\/span>range of differences in individual brain function and\u00a0<\/span>behavioural<\/span>\u00a0traits. <\/span>There are natural variations in how humans think, feel, and experience the world. Neurodiversity is an umbrella term which includes ALL types of brains: both neurotypical and neurodivergent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

All brains work differently, we all have similarities and differences in how we think, process information and experience the world. While the term neurodiversity means all brains, it is a push for acceptance for people with cognitive differences. These are called neurodivergences. For most people, while there are differences, there are significant similarities in the way neurotypical brains function and perceive the world. Neurodivergent brains <\/span>experience the world differently. <\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

\"\"Neurotypical:<\/strong><\/em> A person whose brain follows \u2018typical\u2019 development in regards to language, learning. <\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

Neurodivergent:<\/strong><\/em> is a person whose mind diverges from the typical pattern of development, these may meet diagnostic patterns such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n
