“Neurodivergent” describes individuals whose neurological development and functioning differ from what is considered typical or “neurotypical.” It is often used to refer to people with conditions such as autism, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), dyslexia or other cognitive and developmental differences.
The concept of neurodivergence challenges the idea that there is a single, “normal” way for the brain to function and emphasizes that neurological diversity is natural and should be respected. Rather than viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, the term promotes the idea that different brain types bring unique strengths and perspectives.
