\n\u201cI founded Neurodiversity Celebration Week in 2018 because I wanted to change the way learning differences are perceived. As a teenager who is autistic and has ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia, my experience has been that people often focus on the challenges of neurological diversity. I wanted to change the narrative and create a balanced view which focuses equally on our talents and strengths.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks in part to the neurodiversity movement, contemporary autism research emphasizes assessments and care that amplify individuals\u2019 strengths<\/strong> and place happiness<\/strong> and quality of life <\/strong>at the forefront of care goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
