Having a ‘different’ brain can have a huge impact on the individual, especially in a society catering to the “neurotypical”.
From IE magazine: Embracing difference by welcoming neurodivergent teachers

From The Point: Neurodivergent educators are a resource, not a burden

From The Point: Benefits of neurodiverse teachers
Leaders should consider the numerous strengths that can exist alongside and outweigh the challenges of neurodiversity.
