This book is a fun introduction to neurodiversity written by a neurodivergent mum aiming to improve the self-esteem and confidence of children. Neurodiversity! What's That? defines keywords and ideas shared by the neurodiversity movement. Such as how different brain types don't have to be viewed as disorders while not underestimating the challenges of thinking and learning differences. The book includes many positive messages and can also help parents navigate the world of neurodiversity. Neurodiversity! What's That? mentions autism, PDA, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and Irlen Syndrome. Why is this book important? Children are reaching an ever increasingly early age when they search the internet independently. Neurodivergent children are then faced with a tsunami of negative information about themselves relating to their diagnosis. Disordered, impaired and not being good enough is the message we are all being told. But what if there was an alternative? There is! Understanding neurodiversity enables parents and children to learn about disability and differences positively, promoting self-esteem and acceptance.
