Neurodiversity means that everyone’s brains work in different ways, and that’s completely normal.
For some children and young people, these differences might make certain daily tasks harder, like focusing or socialising, but they also come with strengths, like being really creative or noticing details others might miss.
These differences can include conditions such as:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism
- Dyspraxia
- Dyslexia
- Dyscalculia
- Tics and Tourette’s Syndrome
