Creating inclusive environments where individuals can reach their full potential. Fostering a world where everyone is accepted and supported.
Neurodiversityhub is a platform serving to accelerate the understanding, supporting, and advocating for neurodiversity. We define our mission as raising awareness about neurodiversity and helping in creating inclusive environments where individuals can reach their full potential.
Our vision is to foster a world where everyone is accepted and supported. As an accelerator, we realize our mission by collecting and distributing scientific knowledge, reports and activities between scientists and the target group.
Building inclusive communities
Scientific knowledge sharing
Raising awareness
Advocacy & support
Differences in thinking, learning, and behaving are natural and normal
Promoting equal participation in society for all individuals
Encouraging individuals to discover and build on their strengths
The term 'neurodiversity' was first introduced in the late 1990s by Australian sociologist Judy Singer. Neurodiversity refers to the recognition of differences in thinking, learning, and behaving as a natural and normal variation within human beings.
This concept advocates for the non-discrimination of individuals with neurological differences and promotes their equal participation in society. Neurodiversity emphasizes a perspective that encourages individuals to discover their potential and build on their strengths.
Judy Singer argued that instead of being marginalized for their differences, individuals on the autism spectrum should be accepted and supported. The concept later expanded to include various neurological differences.
Characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Each individual on the autism spectrum is unique, and the impact of autism can vary greatly from person to person.
A condition marked by challenges with sustained attention, focus, and impulse control. Individuals with ADHD are often known for their high energy levels and creative thinking abilities.
A learning disorder that affects an individual's ability to process words and symbols. People with dyslexia often excel in visual and spatial thinking.
This highlights the need for increased support and opportunities for neurodiverse individuals. Society needs inclusive policies and practices in all areas of life, including education, the workforce, and social life.
Those individuals must feel secure and valued, so that they will enhance societal well-being.
Supporting neurodiversity means acknowledging and appreciating individuals' unique ways of thinking and working. In schools and workplaces, practices and policies that foster neurodiversity allow individuals to reach their full potential.
Autistic individuals often bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills that can add significant values. Neurodiversity science and practice focus on individuals' need for supporting services for celebrating their strengths and abilities.
Together, we can accelerate understanding, support, and advocacy for neurodiversity. Let's build a world where everyone is accepted and can reach their full potential.
