About neurodiversity and emotional wellbeing

‘Neurodiversity’ is a term used to describe the natural variation in thinking styles and behaviour that we all have.

We are all different in how we think, and neurodiversity encompasses all the different ways in which we may process information, approach different situations, communicate, and much more.

The word comes from two parts – ‘neurological’ and ‘diversity’. Neurological is a term for things to do with our brain, and diversity refers to how we are all different in a large variety of ways.

Our brains are unique to us. Therefore, we will have unique skills, abilities, and needs. We may experience and interact with the world around us in different ways.
