Neurodivergence: An Essential Dimension of Diversity, published Jan 1, 2025
The term “neurodiversity” was first used by sociologist Judy Singer in 1998 to describe how different people have brains that develop in different ways with different strengths and limitations. While neurodivergence is used to describe a wide variety of conditions—including forms of autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and differences in processing sensory information—the core concept is that some people’s brains function differently in ways related to their abilities, challenges, and how they interact with others.
