About neurodivergence
It is estimated that around 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently (source ACAS).
Neurodivergence manifests in many forms including autistic spectrum conditions (including Asperger’s Syndrome), ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette’s syndrome. These conditions are not always visible but can result in different needs when it comes to communicating with others.
