Neurodiversity is a paradigm shift in how we understand neurological differences. Instead of viewing neurotypes like autism and ADHD as ‘disorders’ to be ‘cured,’ a neurodiversity-affirming approach recognises them as different ways of experiencing and interacting with the world. This perspective encourages us to adapt our environments and approaches to be more inclusive, rather than expecting neurodivergent individuals to conform to neurotypical norms. It’s about valuing the richness that diverse ways of thinking bring to our society.
