Useful definitions:
Neurodiversity: The idea that there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ brain or way of thinking. It values the natural diversity of human
beings and accepts that we will all interact with the world in different ways, because of how we process information.
Neurodivergence: When a person learns and processes information in a way that is considered significantly different
from what most of society would consider ‘typical’. People who are Autistic, ADHD, Dyslexic, Dyspraxic or have Tourettes are
often described as Neurodivergent.
