What Is Neurodiversity?

What is "neurodiversity"? In short, the view that brain differences are normal. People with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other learning disorders don’t have deficits; they have a normal variation of the human brain. No one type of brain is better than another. The term, which was coined in the late 1990s by Judy Singer, an autistic sociologist, frames brain differences not as something to be cured, but as something to be embraced as part of human diversity.

Nice and simple explanation. But, how about we don’t call them “disorders” and just call them “differences”…?
