Neurodivergence describes the concept of a neurotype being different from the "norm". A person is neurodivergent, or ND for short, if they are diagnosed – either by a professional or via self-diagnosis – with one or more of the following: Autism, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, -please add more here-
The antonym of neurodivergent is neurotypical. Or Predominant Neurotype PNT
Difference between neurodivergence and neurodiversity
Neurodivergence express a quality of a person's neurology in relation to the common neurotypical one or predominant Neurotype; neurodiversity expresses that there are several different neurotypes which vary from each other. A single person can be neurodivergent; you could also say "a group of neurodivergent people," who may or may not be neurodivergent in the same way as each other.
Only a group can be neurodiverse, and only if they have different neurotypes from one another. A group consisting of people with differing neurotypes (which may include neurotypicals) are a neurodiverse group.
