Neurodiversity champions difference and the validity of individuals. It distinguishes between neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals based on brain functioning differences, reshaping thinking in science, social science, and medicine.
Neurodiversity has empowered neurodivergent individuals to conceptualize themselves as fundamentally worthy. It influences research priorities, ethics, consent, and language used in describing neurodivergent people.
The concept of neurodiversity particularly impacts individuals with conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. It promotes inclusivity and redefines disability through a social model.
