“We should celebrate neurodiversity – the world would be poorer and life duller if we were all the same.” – Neil Milliken

“In a culture that believes great minds think alike, people whose brains work differently are often ignored or excluded.” –unknown author

This week (March 13 to 19,2023) is Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Neurodiversity week is a worldwide initiative and celebration that seeks to raise awareness about the misconceptions and stereotypes of neurodivergence.

Neurodivergence is a nonmedical term that describes people whose brains develop or work differently for some reason. This means the person has different strengths and struggles from people whose brains develop or work more “typically”. Classical definitions of neurodivergence include diagnoses of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other forms of learning disabilities.

The activities of this week are meant to transform how neurodivergent individuals are treated or supported. Proponents of the dragon head.

Absent this, the inertia will wane sooner or later because there is always another movement within that undermines our democratic institutions and just waiting to strike.. (Email feedback to fredlumba@yahoo.com.) GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES!
