Neurodiversity refers to the full spectrum of human neurological differences — including both neurotypical and neurodivergent people. It emphasises that:
• No two brains function in exactly the same way.
• Neurological variation is a natural and expected part of humanity.
• Society should value and accommodate all neurotypes, not only those that are neurotypical.
The neurodiversity perspective challenges the idea that neurodivergent people need to be “fixed” to match neurotypical norms. Instead, it encourages environments that support everyone’s needs.
