Neurodivergence — What It Is & Why It Matters (part 1)
<p>Chances are, you have at least one neurodivergent person in your life. You’ve either raised one, are one, worked with one, taught one, lived with one, loved one — or hated one. But the term “neurodivergent” is less understood since it is a fairly new framing for a number of disorders known by their individual names that have significant commonalities in their origins, traits, and symptoms. It is possible to have only one neurodivergence, but quite common to have several. Estimates state that around ten percent of the global human population is neurodivergent, although it is suspected that due to the rarity of diagnosis — especially in women (a topic I will cover here in a bit), that number may be higher. <em>(It’s my personal conviction that animals can also be neurodivergent, although I have nothing but my own anecdotal suspicions to support this.</em></p>
