We are a resource for parents, teachers and educators and professionals who are interested in learning more about neurodiversity. We define neurodiversity in this way. There is nothing wrong with our neurodiverse brains. We are wired differently on a biological, emotional and chemical level. Our needs and desires reflect that. We are simply trying to navigate our way in a world that is foreign to us. We seek respect and safety and have a deep desire to be heard and to feel connected.
