Understanding Neurodivergence

There are lots of natural differences in how people think, learn and act.

If you have a neurodivergent condition, like autism or ADHD, you might feel different from people with more “typical” brains.

But that’s okay. Your brain is wired differently, which means you have strengths that others don’t.

In school, they can give you a lot of support once they know.

Learning differently doesn’t mean you can’t do well at school. You might be given extra time in exams or be allowed to use a laptop or sit in a certain seat in the classroom.

If you know you have a difference in how you learn or process information or emotions, it can help to be open about it. Once people know, it gets much easier.
