Understanding Neurodiversity: Embracing Brain Variations

Staff Report / Greeleylocal.org

Neurodiversity is a term that refers to the natural variation in the human brain and its functions. It recognizes that differences in brain functioning, such as those seen in individuals with conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others, are part of the normal spectrum of human diversity.

Experts from Children’s Hospital Colorado explain that neurodiversity is a non-medical term. It emphasizes understanding and supporting the unique strengths and challenges of neurodivergent individuals. The concept promotes acceptance and inclusion rather than viewing these variations solely through a medical lens.

For more detailed information on neurodiversity, visit the YMCA of Northern Colorado’s website or refer to the article linked [here](https://brnw.ch/21wNHVp).
