Summary:

Neurodiversity is the idea that human brains function in a variety of ways. By understanding that people take in, process and respond to information differently, we can appreciate how these profound differences affect the ways in which we experience the world and form relationships with one another. In spite of the central simplicity of this concept, the consequences of fully understanding and exploring neurodiversity can be transformative. This book looks at how neurodiversity has been understood in a variety of settings including education, research, workplace, health and social care, and criminal justice.
