Neuro Diversity
Published
There’s a growing push to focus on our brain differences, not deficits. This wider view of "normal" is a big part of something called neurodiversity. Advocates hope the idea expands how we think of developmental disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
people with ADHD may have trouble with time management. But they often show high levels of passion, drive, and creative thinking.
Neurodiversity isn’t the same thing as disability.
Besides ADHD, neurodiversity commonly refers to people with:
Autism spectrum disorder
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Other learning disabilities
People with ADHD have high levels of spontaneity, courage, and empathy.
Those with autism pay attention to complex details, have good memories, and show certain "specialty" skills.
People with dyslexia can perceive certain kinds of visual information better than those without the condition.
