Introducing neurodiversity terms and concepts for young readers
The language and ideas of neurodiversity and neurodivergence are increasingly well-known and widely used, but what do they mean and why are scientists interested? This short open-access paper introduces key concepts and a selection of recent research, written especially for young readers. It is available through the Neuroscience and Psychology article collection in Frontiers for Young Minds, a scientific journal written for kids, and peer-reviewed by kids alongside adult researchers.
