Neurodiversity Explained
Helping you understand the needs of every neurodiverse person on your park and in your team.
What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is the way that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways, and that there is no single “right” way of thinking, learning, or behaving.
It is an umbrella term that recognises natural variations in how human brains work. This includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s Syndrome, and other neurological differences.
For neurodiverse individuals, everyday environments, from schools and workplaces to holiday parks, can sometimes feel overwhelming or challenging, not because of who they are, but because those spaces aren’t designed with their needs in mind.
By understanding and embracing neurodiversity, we can create environments that are more inclusive, supportive, and welcoming. It’s not about “fixing” people; it’s about removing barriers, valuing different perspectives, and celebrating the strengths that neurodiverse individuals bring to our communities.
At its heart, neurodiversity is about acceptance, respect, and the belief that everyone deserves to thrive.
