Neurodivergence:

Neurodivergence means that some people's brains work differently—and that's okay! It includes things like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and it's just another way of being human. These differences aren't problems to fix—they're part of what makes people unique and valuable (Walker, 2021; Armstrong, 2010).
