1) Diverse Spectrum: Neurodiversity acknowledges that there is a broad spectrum of neurodiverse conditions, and individuals with these conditions have unique strengths, abilities, and perspectives. It encompasses conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others.
2) Positive Perspective: It encourages a positive and accepting perspective on neurodiverse individuals, focusing on their abilities and talents rather than their deficits or challenges. Each person’s neurodiversity contributes to their unique identity and can be a source of strength.
3) Inclusivity: Neurodiversity promotes inclusivity and equal opportunities for neurodiverse individuals in all aspects of life, including education, employment, and social interactions. It aims to reduce stigma and discrimination against neurodivergent people.
4) Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Many organizations are recognizing the benefits of a neurodiverse workforce. Neurodiverse employees can bring a fresh perspective, attention to detail, creativity, and problem-solving skills that may not be as common in neurotypical individuals.
5) Advocacy: The neurodiversity movement includes advocacy for accommodations and support that allow neurodiverse individuals to thrive in society. This might include accessible education, reasonable workplace accommodations, and social acceptance.
6) Challenges and Needs: While neurodiversity focuses on celebrating differences, it’s also essential to address the challenges that neurodiverse individuals may face. This includes providing resources and support for their specific needs.
7) Personal Growth: Embracing neurodiversity allows individuals to better understand and appreciate their own neurodiverse traits, leading to personal growth and self-acceptance.
Neurodiversity is an evolving and important concept that challenges traditional notions of normality and disability. It emphasizes the value of diverse perspectives and the potential of every individual to contribute to society in their own unique way. As society becomes more inclusive and aware of neurodiversity, it creates opportunities for individuals to thrive and for communities to benefit from a broader range of talents and abilities.likelike

With due respect to the points , have observed that ADHD syndrome in a kid is only up to certain age mostly and afterwards they are like any other normal human beings. Would love to get any response.
