Neurodiversity describes the diversity in the human brain that shapes the interactions and experiences with the world in many different ways. As WHO indicates, about 1 out of 100 children has autism; which is only one condition commemorated as neurodiverse during this week. We invite you to have a closer look at the article The neurodiversity concept: is it helpful for clinicians and scientists? from The Lancet Psychiatry.
