Neurodiversity Movement

The Neurodiversity Movement emphasizes understanding and accepting neurological differences—such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia—not as disorders needing fixing, but as natural variations in human brains. It advocates for recognizing these differences as valid aspects of human diversity, similar to cultural or linguistic diversity. The movement promotes inclusive environments, accommodations, and perspectives that value diverse ways of thinking, learning, and processing information. Its goal is to reduce stigma, increase acceptance, and support individuals' strengths and needs, fostering a society where neurodiverse people are respected and empowered to thrive.
