'Neurodiversity' is a relatively new term that refers to people who have dyslexia, autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and other neurological conditions. These are 'spectrum' conditions, with a wide range of characteristics, but which nevertheless share some common features in terms of how people learn and process information.
Some of these conditions are referred to as 'Specific Learning Difficulties' or SpLD. 'Neurodiversity' is a broader reference to the diversity of the human brain and people's 'neurocognitive functioning' and, unlike the SpLD title, reflects the fact that these conditions are not solely related to learning and also that they can confer strengths as well as weaknesses.
