Neurodiversity
Humans are weird and brains are complex. Neurodiversity is a term that encompasses the neurotypical and the neurodivergent.
Is anyone truly neurotypical? Maybe not but Western society has created standards that set expectations for everyone to conform, cultivating its definition.
Neurodiversity is beautiful, it’s simply the diversity in how humanity thinks. It’s what makes us human and sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.
