What is considered neurodivergent?

248 views

It’s a term that’s being thrown around a lot and the definitions I hear seem to go from very broad to very specific.

To add to that, is epilepsy considered neurodivergent? Some sources say yes, some say no, and I’m quite confused.

Basically it just means having a brain that is physically different from the “normal” human brain.

The reason there is variation there is because not everyone agrees just how narrow to define normal in the case of a human brain. Generally speaking, in modern science we prefer to define normal in a broad enough sense that anyone capable of leading a fairly normal life without major accommodation can be considered normal.

Simply put, you will not get a single simple answer because there is no agreement on what that answer would be.
