Neurodivergent is a way to describe people using words other than “normal” and “abnormal.” The brain of a neurodivergent person works and processes information differently than neurotypical persons. There are many medical diagnoses that are included in neurodivergence, most of them developmental in nature,  including autistic disorder, Downs syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Tourette syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and more.
