What is Neurodiversity?

This post is about neurodiversity, celebrating the unique ways our brains work and highlighting the importance of creating inclusive environments that respect individual differences. Challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals often stem from environmental barriers like noise or mismatched support, not from their uniqueness. By adapting environments to meet diverse needs, we can reduce these barriers and enable everyone to thrive. Embracing neurodiversity strengthens communities and fosters a society where everyone feels valued and safe to be their true selves.
