Cosa vuol dire neurodivergenti?
Neurodivergence is when a person's brain processes, learns and behaves differently from the one considered "typical".
Once considered a problem or an anomaly, today, researchers say neurodivergence can also have many advantages.
This is not a disability; is a difference in the brain's functioning. With this change, the operators do not handle most neurodiverse as a disease. On the contrary, consider how different ways of learning and processing information.
In questo articolo definiremo la neurodiversità e forniremo alcuni esempi.
Proveremo inoltre a raccontare come scoprire se si è neurodivergenti, descrivendo cosa significa essere neurodivergenti.
How to know if you neurodivergent
In the previous article, we described the various types of neurodivergence. Please read it here.
If you have been diagnosed with one of the conditions described above, you are considered neurodivergent. On the other hand, if you have never received a formal diagnosis but are strongly attuned to the descriptors of one or more types of neurodivergence, you can contact a professional to find out with certainty.
Although neurodivergence is common, many people do not realize to be up to adulthood. This can create challenges, as people find a way to adapt to the differences in how people think and process information, but it can also be helpful.
For many adults, finding out you have ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodivergence often helps explain things they did not understand.
If you have never been diagnosed with any of the described terms and have never had the feeling of having symptoms, you are likely neurotypical.
If there has never been diagnosed with any of the terms described, and not have you ever had the feeling of having symptoms, it is likely that you neurotipici.
You can become neurodivergent?
Many forms of neurodivergence are an inherent part of the development and functioning of the brain. Even though these differences may not be recognized or diagnosed during childhood, this does not mean they are not present and have appeared suddenly in adulthood.
Also, neurological conditions, acquired, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease, can lead to neurodivergence.
The future of the neurodiversity
The defense of the acceptance of the neurodiversità began with autism but has grown to include different types of neurodivergence. The defense of the acceptance of the neurodiversità began with autism, but has grown to include different types of neurodivergenza.
The more we accept and understand that it is pretty standard that brains work differently, the more quickly we can accommodate people in the ways most suitable for them to learn, work and thrive in society.
Incontro molte persone che mi chiedono “Dott.ssa ma sono neurodivergente?” Dietro a questa domanda, oltre al desiderio di appartenenza, si nasconde il bisogno di mettere in ordine i pezzi di un puzzle che magari per tanto tempo non trovavano un loro posto. E così, quasi sempre, quando arriva la risposta, tutto trova un proprio posto. Come sempre grazie di aver letto fino a qui il mio flusso di pensieri! Nel prossimo articolo, vi parlerà dell’incontro tra neurodivergenza e Applied Behavior Analysis, l’Analisi del Comportamento Applicata che per chi non lo sapesse per molto tempo (erroneamente) è stata definita la “terapia per l’autismo”.
Vi aspetto.
