What is neurodiversity?

The term neurodiversity relates to the range of differences in individual brain function and that all our brains are incredibly unique and should be valued and appreciated. The Neurodiversity movement is focused on removing barriers (but not exclusively) to individuals who are autistic, ADHD, ASD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, and highlighting their strengths and abilities.
