Let’s Begin…
If we are to create inclusive learning communities as teachers, it would benefit us to better understand Neurodiversity. Brian Kinghorn, in an empassioned talk, presents a vision for a world that doesn't just tolerate neurodivergent people, but moves towards neuroharmony: a world where neurotypical and neurodivergent people co-exist together by recognizing each others strengths and abilities.

Both. All people should learn how to live together. We should learn how to adjust to people who are very different from ourselves. Noone is in a superior or inferior position, both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals need to adjust to each other.
