Include 'In' NeuroDiversity
Neurodiversity is a broad umbrella and is not just autism. Neurological variations can include autism, Pathological Demand avoidance, ADHD, Fetal alcohol syndrome, downs syndrome, challenging behaviour, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and Tourette’s etc, this list is non-exhaustive.
Judy Singer, who coined the term, proposes that we are ALL neurodiverse because no two humans on the planet are the same.
Neurodiversity is an approach to learning and disability that argues diverse neurological conditions are result of normal variations in the human genome. This portmanteau of neurological and diversity originated in the late 1990s as a challenge to prevailing views of neurological diversity as inherently pathological, instead asserting that neurological differences should be recognised and respected as a social category on a par with gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability status.
Include ‘In’ NeuroDiversity has a mission, and that is to spark positive change by increasing education and understanding of Neurodivergent individuals in the UK. We hope our efforts will lead to earlier diagnosis, access to effective interventions and more meaningful supports to help people reach their full potential.
