Neurodivergence explained

Neurodivergence is a term used to describe people who have neurological differences that fall outside of what is considered typical or normal. These differences can include conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and many others.

According to the BBC video Neurodiversity explained by young people | BBC Newsround, neurodivergent individuals have unique ways of experiencing the world and processing information. They often have strengths and abilities that are overlooked by society due to a focus on neurotypical behavior.

The video features interviews with several young people who share their experiences as neurodivergent individuals. They discuss the challenges they face, such as difficulty with social interactions or sensory processing, as well as the positive aspects of their neurodivergence, such as their creativity and unique perspectives.

The concept of neurodiversity challenges the idea that there is a "normal" way of thinking and behaving. Instead, it recognizes that everyone's brain works differently and that these differences should be celebrated and accommodated.

Neurodivergence is a natural and valuable aspect of human diversity and something we cherish at Passages. By understanding and accepting neurodivergent individuals, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society and Centre for all.
