Neurodivergent describes individuals whose brains process, learn, and behave differently from what society considers “typical,” encompassing conditions like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s, and others, representing natural variations in human neurology rather than deficits, according to the Royal College of Nursing and NHS Scotland. It’s an umbrella term, part of the broader concept of neurodiversity, recognizing that diverse brains bring unique strengths, while acknowledging societal barriers.
