Neurodivergent
What does that mean?
Neurodivergent means someone’s brain works in ways that are different from what’s considered “typical.”
It includes people with conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others.
It’s not about being “less than” just different ways of thinking, learning, and processing the world, with both challenges and strengths.
Autism is not a processing error. It's a different operating system.
