Introduction to Neurodiversity

 

What is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity recognises that all brains are different. Everyone has a differently-wired brain and their own unique way of thinking, interacting and experiencing the world. Labels are sometimes given  to this different-wiring including:

  • ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
  • ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyspraxia
  • Tourette Syndrome

Does this mean these individuals are ‘abnormal’? No! This is why we are united in celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2022.

What is Neurodiversity Celebration Week?

Neurodiversity Celebration Week was founded with the purpose of helping the world understand, value and celebrate the talents of neurodiverse minds.

 

This worldwide initiative:

- challenges stereotypes and misconceptions

- aims to change the way neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported

- recognises the many talents an advantages of neurodiversity

- creates a more inclusive and equitable culture that celebrates differences

- empowers all individuals

 

As a celebration of Neurodiversity, each day this week, we will be

changing the narrative

to focus on the strengths of neurodiverse individuals
