Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity encompasses characteristics traditionally labelled with terms such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The term ‘Neurodiversity’ is designed to positively reflect the ‘neurological diversity’ of the human brain rather than pathologise difference.
