“Neurodiversity” is the concept that there is natural variation in how people’s brains work. The idea is that there’s no “correct” way for the brain to work. Instead, there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world, including those with ADHD, autism and learning differences .
Being “neurodiverse” means having a brain that functions differently from the typical brain. Neurodiverse individuals — including those with autism, ADHD, and learning differences—may think, learn, and perceive the world in unusual ways.
