The word neurodiversity—a portmanteau of “neurological” and “diversity”—was first coined in the 1990s by Australian social scientist Judy Singer, who is herself on the autism spectrum. It has gained significant ground in recent years, particularly among advocacy communities. The term originally referred most commonly to autism but has since come to include ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette's, synesthesia, as well as other learning and developmental differences.

Although this concept of Neurodiversity may be new in the general population, we have been talking about it for decades. When Ronald D. Davis first published his book, The Gift of Dyslexia back in 1994, it cracked open the perception of what Dyslexia (and related diagnoses) actually was. Way ahead of his time, he brought the idea of the inherent gifts of neurodiverse individuals into the world and his influence has spread worldwide with his ideas being cited in hundreds of academic research articles, books, and websites.
