Neurodivergent: Understanding the Spectrum of Cognitive Differences
Neurodivergent refers to individuals with neurological differences such as ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions, challenging the notion of a “normal” brain function. The neurodiversity paradigm views such variations as natural, advocating for acceptance and inclusive environments. While neurodivergent people can have unique strengths, they also may face challenges in communication and social interaction. Embracing neurodiversity involves providing accommodations, raising awareness, and encouraging neurodivergent self-advocacy, to foster an equitable society that values cognitive diversity.
