Neurodiversity
…refers to the idea that individuals experience and interact with the world in different ways, with no “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, often in the context of autism spectrum disorder and other neurological or developmental disorders.
Neurodiversity…means that neurological differences are authentic forms of human diversity…who is neurodivergent or neurotypical is heavily shaped by context, interactions, and situations."
