N is for… Neurodiversity!

Instead of the usual “advent” calendar, I’ve been doing an A-B-C countdown to when santa comes. I started with A is for Attention Deficit and have been working my way through the alphabet, making a series of videos with some basic information.

First and foremost, what is Neurodiversity?

The concept of neurodiversity usually refers to perceived variations seen in cognitive, affectual, and sensory functioning differing from the majority of the general population or ‘predominant neurotype’, more usually known as the ‘neurotypical’ population.” — (Rosqvist et al., 2020)

It is also:

“…a political term to argue for the importance of including all neurotypes for a thriving human society.”
