Understanding Neurodiversity: Beyond Awareness
What Is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity recognises that neurological differences like autism, ADHD, dyslexia and others are natural variations of the human brain rather than deficits or disorders. These differences influence how people think, learn, process information and experience the world.
Moving Past Stereotypes
Authentic inclusion requires moving beyond simplified stereotypes to understand the full spectrum of neurodivergent experiences. Each neurodivergent individual possesses a unique profile of strengths, challenges and preferences that cannot be reduced to diagnostic labels.
The Neurodiversity Paradigm
Rather than focusing solely on accommodating perceived limitations, the neurodiversity paradigm emphasises recognising and leveraging the unique cognitive perspectives and skills that neurodivergent individuals bring to the workplace and society.
