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
