Neurodivergence Explained

Neurodivergence Explained offers a comprehensive exploration of neurodivergence, encompassing conditions like autism and ADHD, by integrating scientific research with social perspectives. The book underscores the importance of understanding both the neurobiological basis of these conditions and the social constructs that shape the experiences of neurodivergent individuals. For instance, while neurological variations play a significant role, societal attitudes and diagnostic practices also profoundly impact how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported. This book uniquely balances scientific rigor with a commitment to social justice, advocating for a neurodiversity paradigm that values neurological variation. It guides readers through core concepts, examining the neurobiological underpinnings and social dimensions of neurodivergence. By presenting real-world applications and emphasizing the strengths of neurodivergent individuals, the book promotes inclusivity in education, employment, and community settings.
