The idea of neurodiversity helps us see that there is no single “right” way for a brain to work. Neurodiversity includes many kinds of brain differences, such as autism and ADHD. These differences were once viewed only as problems, but today we know they are simply different ways of thinking. They can bring new ideas, strengths, and creativity.
In April, we recognize Neurodiversity Inclusion & Advocacy Month. Use these resources to learn more about neurodiversity and how we can support people who are neurodivergent. You can print, share or post the materials in this toolkit during April or any time of year:

If you or someone you care about wants to learn more or thinks they may be neurodivergent, visit the Neurodiversity Education Academy for more helpful information.

Neurodivergence is not about being “less than." It is a different way of thinking, and many people show unique strengths because of it.
