“Neurodiverse” refers to a community of people whose members are neurodivergent. Neurodivergence includes a wide range of lifelong conditions, including Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and more. If someone is ‘differently wired’ it changes how they experience and express themselves the world.

​

​

1. Educate yourself on different neurodivergences and their characteristics.

2. Listen to and amplify the voices of neurodivergent individuals.

3. Create inclusive environments that accommodate different sensory needs.

4. Avoid using ableist language or making assumptions about someone's abilities.

5. Offer support and accommodations in the workplace or educational settings.

6. Advocate for policies that promote neurodiversity and inclusion.

7. Encourage open conversations about neurodiversity with friends and family.

8. Challenge stereotypes and misconceptions about neurodivergent individuals.

9. Celebrate the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals.

10. Remember that neurodiversity is a natural and valuable part of human diversity, there is no “one”right type of brain.
