From Overwhelm to Balance: Tools to Support Neurodivergent Minds
Although there is no official definition for neurodivergence, it is understood as the natural and valuable variation in human brains and cognitive functioning.​2​ Where most people are ‘neurotypical’, meaning that the brain functions in the way society would expect, it is estimated that 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent.​1​ This means someone has a diagnosis of one or more of the conditions associated with neurodivergence including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), dyslexia, dyspraxia and synesthesia. If someone is neurodivergent they behave, learn and process information differently from what is considered ‘typical’.
