Neurodiverse Planet

Anna Claybourne

A positive look at neurodiversity in today's world Everyone on our planet is unique. Our bodies and faces are all slightly different from one another and so are our minds and personalities. A lot of these differences exist because of how our brains work. People who experience and process the world around them a little differently are known as neurodivergent. Neurodiverse Planet offers a positive, accessible look at neurodiversity for readers aged 9 and up by exploring what neurodivergence is and the many different ways in which it can impact people. It looks at some more widely recognised ND conditions, such as autism and ADHD, alongside some lesser known ones, such as synaesthesia and dyscalculia. It highlights the challenges that neurodiverse people may face, as well as the unique abilities that they can sometimes have, and explores what we can all do to make the world a better, more accepting places for neurodiverse people. It also looks forward to what the future might hold for neurodiversity.
