This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🧠 It’s a chance to break down stereotypes and misunderstandings about neurodevelopmental conditions and learning differences. And with approximately 15% of individuals in the UK being neurodivergent, it’s something we can all learn about. Autism and ADHD are the most widely known conditions, but there are many more that come under the umbrella of neurodiversity such as: -Dyslexia: A set of processing difficulties that affect the acquisition of reading and spelling -Dyscalculia: A persistent difficulty with understanding numbers  -Dyspraxia: A common disorder that affects movement and coordination A person might have two, three, or even more conditions simultaneously and everyone may experience neurodiversity uniquely. How these conditions affect individuals can evolve over time and with life experiences.
