Neurodivergence
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Neurodivergence is a concept that describes the natural variations in how the brain works and in the way a person thinks, learns, perceives, and relates to others. Rather than an illness, it refers to neurological differences that are part of human diversity.
What does it cover? This term groups together different profiles of development and learning, each with its own strengths and particular support needs.
When to seek support? When these differences create difficulties in daily life, study, or relationships, a professional evaluation can help better understand the person's profile and identify useful supports.
Which specialist can provide guidance? The psychologist, the neuropsychologist, and the educational psychologist work in the evaluation and support of these processes, depending on age and needs. Talking with a professional makes it possible to focus support from a perspective that respects each way of functioning.
