What are the different types of neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is not just ADHD and Autism.
Watch our video to find out about examples of neurodiverse conditions that reflect different ways the brain processes information and interacts with the world.
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that emphasises the natural variation in how people think and experience life, rather than focusing on deficits or disorders.
The conditions mentioned in the video vary widely among individuals, and the impact can range from mild to severe.
The concept of neurodiversity highlights that these differences are part of human variation and that people with these conditions can contribute to society in unique and valuable ways. It also encourages acceptance, understanding, and accommodations to support people in reaching their full potential.
Estimates suggest that over 15% of people in the UK are neurodiverse, which equates to more than 13 million individuals!
While the majority of people are neurotypical—meaning their brain functions and processes information in the way society expects—around 1 in 7 people, or more than 15% of the population, are neurodivergent.
This means their brains function, learn, and process information differently!
