Image: group of people from different ethnicities lying down smiling. Text reads: Neurodiversity "Neurodiversity means that all people's brains process information differently from each other. In other words, people think and learn in a variety of ways. Being neurodivergent means that the way a person's brain processes information might be quite distinctive, or even rare and in some cases this difference might have a name, like ADHD, autism, or dyslexia........ When we all understand what neurodiversity is, it is easier for everyone to be themselves, no matter how they think, feel and learn." Crompton, C. J., Alcorn, A. M., Cebula, K., & Fletcher-Watson, S.
