"..emotional processes are required for the skills and knowledge acquired in school to transfer to novel situations and to real life."  (Immordino-Yang and Damasio, 2007)

 

Neurodiversity recognizes that not all brains think or feel the same way. A neurodivergent individual has a less typical cognitive variation, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, among other conditions. Because neurodivergent individuals don't generally conform to societal expectations, have different styles of communication, and different experiences, these individuals are at a greater risk of experiencing stress and trauma from the people they interact with in a daily basis. Often this trauma is a result of others not understanding, accepting and acknowledging the feelings and needs of neurodivergent individuals, and also misinterpreting the intent of the behavior and actions of neurodivergent individuals.
