Celebrat ing Neurodiversity

By Beatrice (Bea) Moise, MS, BCCS

MY LIFE’S PASSION IS EDUCATING AND WRITING ABOUT NEURODIVERSITY. WHENEVER I AM PRESENTED WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO, I JUMP ON IT. CELEBRATING NEURODIVERSITY IS EVEN BETTER; HOWEVER, BEFORE YOU CAN CELEBRATE, YOU MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF ON WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT LOOKS.

Neurodiversity is more than just individuals who process information differently—it’s a way of life. It’s my life; from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, every aspect of my life is experienced in a way neurotypicals might consider different. And my family echoes the same perspective.
