Neurodiversity Week 13-19 March 2023
What does Sir Isaac Newton, Andy Warhol, Nikola Tesla, Willliam Yeats, Greta Thunberg and Billie Eilish all have in common?
They have all mastered their neurodivergent talents!
Around one in five people are neurodiverse. Neurodiversity knows no geographic nor language bound. Like a person’s fingerprints, no two brains — not even those of identical twins — are exactly the same. Because of that, there’s no definition of “normal” capabilities for the human brain. Understanding the types of neurodiversity creates awareness and an environment where all of us can thrive together. Embracing our individual strengths is the key to unlocking our full potential.
