Neurodivergent is a term used to describe individuals whose brains develop or function differently for various reasons. This can lead to unique strengths and challenges compared to those whose brains develop and function more typically. While some people who are classified as neurodivergent have medical conditions, there are also individuals whose condition or diagnosis has yet to be identified.
