What Is Neurodiversity?

Consider genes of autism, ADHD, and neurodiversity in terms of needs and strengths in the arts.

  ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Tourette's syndrome are all examples of neurodiverse conditions. They're diagnostic labels used to explain the diverse ways of thinking, learning, processing and behaving.

• Neurodiversity is a viewpoint that brain differences are normal, rather than deficits.
  
• Neurodivergent people experience, interact with, and interpret the world in unique ways.
  
• This concept can help reduce stigma around learning and thinking differences.
  

  The concept of neurodiversity isn’t new. Judy Singer, a sociologist on the autism spectrum, began using the term in the 1990s. Singer rejected the idea that people with autism are disabled. Her view was that their brains just work differently from others.
