What is neurodiversity? To non-science readers, this may be a fairly new term. Neurodiversity is a concept that celebrates neurological diversity that affects the way in which a person perceives and interacts with the environment. Essentially, it asks for viewing different ways in which a human brain and mind can function on a spectrum of normality, rather than as an abnormality. It is unfortunate that many are still ignorant about the existence of this concept, that urges us to think of neurological differences like dyslexia, autism, ADHD, etc., as natural variations of the human genome.
The Autism Rights movement is an example of this concept. While celebrating world Autistic Pride Day on 18th June, it is only fair that we take this opportunity to help spread awareness.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is still a fairly tricky condition to diagnose. The word 'spectrum' describes the wide range of difficulties and severities that afflicted persons may face in the social, communicative and behavioral spheres. Intellectual disability and repetitive behaviours and interests frequently co-exist. Instead of isolating people with such interests, we should not only recognise, but also appreciate their unique diversity and allow them to make the most of their potential.
