Think Different. Embrace Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences are the result of normal, natural variations in the human genome. They do not need to be cured. Instead they need help and accommodation. Organizations where leaders make such accommodations reap tremendous benefits. Common disorders that fall into this category include: autistic spectrum disorders; dyspraxia; dyslexia; and, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among others.
