Neurodiversity is the concept that the human brain is diverse and that there is no one "normal" way of thinking, learning, or behaving. People with neurodiversity may have brains that work differently than the majority of people, and this can lead to different strengths and challenges. Some examples of neurodiversity include autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, and dyspraxia.
The neurodiversity movement emerged in the 1990s as a way to challenge the view of neurodiversity as a disability. The movement argues that neurodiversity is simply a different way of being human, and that people with neurodiversity should be accepted and included in society.
The neurodiversity movement has made significant progress in raising awareness of neurodiversity and challenging negative stereotypes. However, there is still much work to be done. People with neurodiversity continue to face discrimination in education, employment, and healthcare.
Here are some of the benefits of neurodiversity:

• People with neurodiversity often have unique strengths and talents. For example, people with autism spectrum disorder may have a strong attention to detail or be gifted in math or science.
• People with neurodiversity can bring a different perspective to the table. They may be able to see things in a new way or come up with creative solutions to problems.
• The neurodiversity movement has helped to raise awareness of neurodiversity and challenge negative stereotypes. This has made it easier for people with neurodiversity to live full and productive lives.
