Unlocking Neurodiversity in Nigeria: A Path to Inclusion and Innovation
<p>Neurodiversity is a concept that is reshaping the way we perceive and approach neurological differences in society, it has been portrayed, admittedly imperfectly, in pop culture, <strong>Sheldon Cooper</strong> (played by Jim Parsons) of the US hit show <em>The Big bang theory </em>is a famous example (his obsession with completing tasks and knocking 3 times before entering a room are hallmarks of OCD, his lack of understanding of social cues is a common trait of autistic individuals). <strong>Mayim Bialik</strong>, who played Amy Farrah Fowler (she is a real neuroscientist), even admitted in <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/is-sheldon-autistic-the-big-bang-theory-actress-mayim-bialik-gives-this-brilliant-response/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">an interview</a> that every major character portrayed on the show is on some spectrum or the other, another noteworthy mention is <strong>Rizwan Khan </strong>from 2010 Bollywood film, <em>My name is Khan, </em>the film went to great lengths to portray autism.</p>
