 rogram\n\nNeurodiversity is the range of common differences in thinking an
 d behavior which we now understand to be normal variations in humans. This
  includes conditions such as autism\, dyslexia\, ADHD\, and others. Neurod

 marginalized as individuals.\n\nJoin us for this free 90-minute online lun
