    So, people being neurodiverse means that there can be differences in human brain function and cognition between different people.

    A neurodivergent person is someone whose brain processes information differently, learns or behaves in ways that aren’t considered typical.

    ADHD and the autistic spectrum for example would be a form of neurodivergence.

        I’m glad to help, thank you for asking.
        Many people don’t understand enough about these things, which results in stereotypes that can be annoying at best, all the way to being actively harmful and discriminating.

          That’s the thing. I read something online, my friends tried to explain, and I didn’t really understand. After your explanation, I finally get it :)
