I would love to know what you feel about the term neurodiversity.

Having worked with and supported many dyslexics as a specialist in the field for over 40 years with the advantage of being dyslexic myself, I have been researching a trend towards the use of the term neurodiversity. This is what I found:

What is neurodiversity?
"A relatively new term, neurodivergent simply means someone who thinks differently from the way the majority (referred to as neurotypical) expect. Neurotypical means the opposite –someone whose brain behaves in the same way as the majority of society".

I totally disagree. There is no such grouping as neurotypical as such a majority do not exist. If we are looking at academic learners, at best they make up 20% of the population in some cultures far less. Our populations are made up of 5 to 8 clusters which if a none biased assessment system was in place would probably be about the same proportion within a population. All of whom have particular strengths and abilities which could be equally valued and make equal contributions to society

"Neurodiversity isn’t the same thing as disability. Though, people who have neurodivergent features may need accommodations at work or school"

A condescending statement. If we are going to use the term neurodiversity it must be recognised we are all neurodivergent. However, many of the clusters have been disadvantaged by a worldwide system that has had a bias towards the academic cluster.

Why? Easier to manage and organise within an educational system which does not support free thinking and creative problem solving.

"Neurodiverse students are wonderful students," Cussler says. "They can be really creative, big-picture, out-of-the box thinkers. But with some classic kinds of assessments, they have more difficulty."

Again highly prejudiced towards academic learners. The "classic kinds of assessments' are not geared to support the strengths of the other clusters.

"If the concept goes mainstream, it could lead to big changes in education and workplace norms, says Alecia Santuzzi, PhD, an associate professor at Northern Illinois University who specializes in social-industrial and organizational psychology".

Yes indeed. Big changes of exactly the wrong sort. Changes that would create further limitations and degrading in the social standing of those who have been held back by educational systems which did not serve them, who despite this have continued to develop skills and abilities which are essential for our rapidly changing world and true sense of communities.

We need to look towards supporting ALL our strengths and abilities. ALL being all-encompassing and inclusive of every member of our human population
