Neurodiversity is the diversity of ways in which human brains think, learn, relate to others and interpret the world. (Honeybourne 2020). 
 

Neurodiversity is a term credited by the Australian sociologist Judy Singer in 1998.

“Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. These differences can include those labelled with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit, Hyperactive Disorder, Autistic spectrum, Tourette’s Syndrom and others.”” (National Symposium on Neurodiversity at Syracuse University, 2011; Summer & Brown, 2015).
 

Within the spectrum of neurodiversity most people can be seen as neurotypical, which means that they have an average brain development. In a neurotypical person, neurological development is generally seen as “normal” and adapted. People with neurological development with an abnormality (divergence) of the average are called neurodivergent or a-typical.
