The key to having #Neurodiversity acknowledged as more than a set of conditions that need to be accommodated for is in demystifying the word.

At its core, #Neurodiversity is simply recognising that, like our differing physical features, our varied cognitive features are vast.

This benefits us ALL.

… once acknowledged, we can stop “othering” non-neurotypical individuals and simply allow them to integrate into arenas which appreciate and maximise their strengths.

While every individual with ADHD is unique, hyperfocus, creativity and adaptability are just some of the many unique skills & strengths they often possess 🌟

Let’s take a look at some more key talents associated with ADHD...

“We humans have become so enamoured by our cognitive abilities that we think they are the highest - and sometimes the only – form of understanding the world around us. This could not be further from the truth”. @LaurenceHalsted @simonmundie https://t.co/6fYgc09pIH

Any long-time educator like me can tell you: standardized testing is failing out students. It does not truly measure their learning, or prepare them for the real world.

But there are other options—one of which is performance-based assessments. https://t.co/Yz7NMUenaq

Education and Academia are a huge part of most, if not all, of our lives when we are young.

In understanding that we spend our most formative years, when we’re absorbing information, or delving into topics we’re passionate about, with one educator or a group of educators (cont.)

[neurodiversally @Neurodiversally]

No one will be jumping for joy ever single day of school, their degree, or their phD, but we need to ensure that those to whom we are entrusting our mental health, are educated on not only how to teach, but how to manage people, especially the various #Neurodivergent types.

When the kitchen appliances are more woke than the #HigherEducation system 🧡 😉

We’ll get there!

They need to label my microwave brand as ADHD friendly because it passively aggressively beeps every few minutes when I forget my food💀🙌🏽

"Assessment can (and should) be about growing and learning and instead of being punitive or used as a gotcha moment." @katiemartinedu

Why You Should Allow Students to Retake Tests https://t.co/ppBwgTSQO9

Read "Evolving Education" which explores this! https://t.co/vLXc31kfTi

[neurodiversally @Neurodiversally]

Done right!

[neurodiversally @Neurodiversally]

100%. The focus of education, leading later to academia, has always been attainment under time constraints- it fails to acknowledge that studying can be timed, but learning is an ongoing process. We want to produce learners not simply “studiers”. This is counterproductive.

[neurodiversally @Neurodiversally]

@ZJAyres We’re proud of you too!

[neurodiversally @Neurodiversally]

@SparkleClass Amazing- We rally can’t wait until this is widespread and everyone can experience this freeing feeling! Especially in education.
