"The world would be poorer and life duller if we were all the same" Neil Milliken
Being Neurodivergent means having a brain that works and/or behaves differently from the average or "Neurotypical" person. This may be differences in social preferences, ways of learning, ways of communicating and/or ways of perceiving the environment.
Some examples that fall within the spectrum of neurodiversity are ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, some Genetic Disabilities.
