What is Neurodiversity ?

Neurodiversity means that everyone thinks and processes information in different ways.

ADHD

ADHD is a condition that affects how the brain develops and works, starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. People with ADHD may find it hard to focus, may act without thinking, be very active, get distracted easily, struggle to stay organized, and have trouble following instructions. There are three main types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive and a mix of both inattention and hyperactivity.

ANXIETY

Anxiety is a feeling that comes with different amounts of fear and worry. It often happens during important moments, like when taking a test or performing. If not dealt with, it can become overwhelming.

AUTISM (ASC)

Autism is a condition that affects how people think and interact with others. It often includes repeating certain behaviors and having challenges with social communication, adjusting to new situations, and seeing things from other people's points of view.

DYSCALCULIA 

Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a learning challenge that makes it really hard for some people to understand and work with numbers. This includes things like doing basic math, figuring out how numbers relate to each other, and performing calculations accurately.

DYSGRAPHIA

Dysgraphia is a learning difficulty that makes it hard for people to write. This can show up as bad spelling, messy handwriting, or difficulty putting thoughts into words. It can affect how people use language or be unrelated to language at all.

DYSLEXIA

Dyslexia is a learning challenge that makes reading and spelling difficult. It can also affect how we process information, remember things for a short time, and keep track of time. These difficulties are not due to a lack of language skills or coordination; instead, they come from how the brain works in a different way. People with dyslexia often have special strengths in other areas as well.

EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME 

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a condition that you get from your genes, which affects tissues in the body, especially in the skin, joints, and blood vessels. People with this syndrome often also have conditions like autism or ADHD.

EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION

Emotional dysregulation is when someone struggles to control their feelings, such as fear, anger, or sadness, which can cause them to react in ways they otherwise wouldn't.

FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) happens when a mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy, which can affect the baby’s development in various ways. 

This can lead to problems with:

Movement and balance, as well as sight and hearing
Learning, including thinking, focusing, and remembering
Emotions and getting along with others
Being overly active and controlling impulses
Talking and communicating effectively
