Neurodiversity
What it means:
|
A relatively new term, neurodiversity, refers to the diversity of cognitive functioning in humans.
Historically, neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism spectrum condition were framed as individual disorders with the belief that the person is suffering from a deficit or dysfunction in their mental processing. This framing was found to be deeply flawed with recent research showing that a binary diagnosis could not be justified as everyone lies somewhere along a continuum. At Colourfield, we recognise that neurodivergent conditions co-exist and overlap with one another. And that each individual will have their own unique pattern of strengths and sets of challenges. |
Neurodiversity:
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term that refers to the variety of ways the brain can work and interpret information. All our brains have a natural variation with 100 billion brain cells connecting in different ways. Neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, not any particular sub-group, but everyone.
Neurotypical:
Most individuals are neurotypical, meaning they show patterns of thought and behaviour typical of most people, and the brain functions and processes information in the way society expects.

Neurodiversity Coaching and Training
It is firmly in the best interest of employers to put practices and procedures in place to cultivate and support an inclusive, neurodiverse workforce.
Neurodivergent individuals often have hidden talents and abilities not fully known to employers. Due to their hidden nature, these talents and skills often go unnoticed, which means employees rarely get a chance to showcase them. One of the main reasons for this is that the public and employers are under-informed about neurodiversity. As a result, neurodivergent employees lack the resources or support they need for their development.
