Everyone and their Mom is neurodivergent now it seems.

It’s an umbrella term for many different conditions that make people’s brains work differently than what is considered typical by society. Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Tourettes, OCD, are all examples. I don’t usually see the term used for people with cognitive disability such as those with Downs or Prader-Willy syndrome, but some might argue it includes that as well.
You’re hearing it a lot more because in recent years there’s been a lot of effort to recognize these differences as another layer of diversity that exists in our society, and that such people can exist and contribute normally with a little acceptance and accommodation.
