The video discusses the concept of neurodiversity, which highlights the natural variation in human brain function that leads to differences in thinking and behaviour.
Coined by sociologist Judy Singer in the 1990s, the term encompasses neurological differences such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Neurodiversity advocates argue that these differences are not disorders but natural variations, similar to diversity in ethnicity or gender.
The movement promotes acceptance of neurodivergent individuals and seeks to address the social and environmental challenges they face, advocating for appropriate support without rejecting medical treatment. The speaker also shares personal experiences with ADHD and encourages embracing neurodiversity and advocating for inclusion.
