Neurodiversity refers to the diversity of
human brains and minds – the infinite
variation in neurocognitive functioning
within our species.
What It Doesn’t Mean:
Neurodiversity is a biological fact. It’s not
a perspective, an approach, a belief, a
political position, or a paradigm.

4.
The Neurodiversity Movement
refers to a social justice pursuit
that seeks civil rights, equality,
respect, and full societal inclusion
for the neurodivergent.
One can be aware and accepting of
the fact of neurodiversity without
being part of the Neurodiversity
