Sharmayne Bennett, Psychologist at Wonderfully Wired Psychology, shares valuable insights into ADHD and neurodivergence, reminding us to appreciate the diversity in how people think and process the world.

Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in brain function and thinking styles that include, but are not limited to, Autism, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Preferences, Dyslexia, and more. These ways of thinking reflect differences rather than deficits.

Examples of neurodivergent identities include:

Autistic people

ADHDers

1. People with Down syndrome
2. People with Dyscalculia
3. People with Dyslexia
4. People with Obsessive-Compulsive Preferences
5. People with Intellectual Disabilities
6. People with Mental Health Conditions

ADHD involves differences in attention regulation, impulsivity, and activity levels—traits that can present both challenges and unique strengths.
