The Rise of Neurodiversity Awareness
In recent years, conversations around neurodiversity have moved into the mainstream, with workplaces, schools, and communities beginning to recognise and value different ways of thinking and experiencing the world. This growing awareness is helping to challenge stigma and promote inclusion for people with conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia.
At Sage Psychology, we support this movement by offering ADHD assessments, autism assessments, and specialist neurodiversity therapy and counselling for those seeking clarity and support.
What Is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity refers to the idea that neurological differences are natural variations of the human brain. Instead of viewing ADHD, autism, and related conditions purely as “disorders,” the neurodiversity perspective recognises both the challenges and the unique strengths they can bring.
Why Awareness Is Growing
Several factors have contributed to the rise in awareness:
Media and social platforms: More people are sharing their lived experiences online.
Workplace initiatives: Employers are increasingly recognising the value of neurodiverse talent.
Education reforms: Schools and universities are adopting more inclusive approaches.
Assessment accessibility: More adults are seeking ADHD and autism assessments, often after years of not having their needs recognised.
Why Awareness Matters
While awareness is growing, there’s still work to do in ensuring that support matches this shift in understanding. Many neurodiverse individuals continue to face barriers in education, employment, and daily life. Increased recognition must go hand-in-hand with access to professional support, assessment, and therapeutic interventions that help people thrive.
