neurodiversity
neurodiversity is a concept that acknowledges and respects the range of differences in individual brain function and behavioural traits as part of normal variation in the human population. the term is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder but can apply to a range of neurological conditions like adhd, dyslexia, tourette syndrome, and others.
the neurodiversity paradigm suggests that we should understand these variations not as deficits, but as variations that have their own strengths and challenges. this perspective promotes the idea of inclusivity and support systems that allow neurodiverse individuals to thrive.
