Neurodiversity celebration week is a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. Throughout the week there are free online events, exploring this topic from many different perspectives including culture, class, LGBTQIA, education, parenthood, HR and Neuro-inclusive Tech.
What is Neurodiversity?
It is the concept that neurological variances should be recognised and respected just like any other human variation, such as gender, race or sexual orientation. There is no ‘standard’ human brain against which all other human brains can be compared. On the contrary, the human brain is so complex that no brain is exactly alike. The wide range of natural neurological variations of the brain affect the way that people think, learn and process information.
