At least one in seven people are thought to be neurodivergent. So
what exactly is neurodiversity? What does 'executive functioning'
mean? What are 'spiky profiles'? In this simple guide, expert
speaker and trainer Daniel Aherne provides a clear introduction to
neurodiversity and the four most common neurodivergent identities
of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Using an analogy of a
cactus needing a desert to grow in, he emphasises the importance of
getting the environment right for neurodivergent people, rather
than expecting them to adapt to the neurotypical world. Daniel, who
himself has ADHD, also explains how neurodivergent people often
have great strengths alongside areas of difficulty, and writes
about the interplay between diagnoses, as well as unpacking tricky
concepts such as working memory, sensory processing, communication
differences and more. Busting common misconceptions and setting out
simple tips and guidance for supporting the neurodivergent people
around you, whether among your family, friends or at your school,
college or workplace - or if you yourself are ND and want to
improve the understanding of others - this essential guide will
help us all celebrate neurodiversity and foster more inclusive
communities.
