Understanding ADHD Through Neurodiversity
ADHD is increasingly viewed through a neurodiversity lens, emphasizing its strengths rather than weaknesses. The concept of individuals with ADHD being compared to 'Tiggers' highlights their lively and creative traits. This reframing invites a broader perspective, where ADHD is not solely seen as a disorder but as part of a spectrum of neurodiverse traits that enrich society. As the conversation shifts, there is a call to reassess social labels, suggesting that while these labels provide necessary frameworks, they could be hindering our understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity.
