Neurodivergence Matters - What Is Neurodiversity? Understanding Difference Without Deficit Neurodiversity is a word that’s increasingly familiar — yet still widely misunderstood. In this episode, Stephen Harrison explores what neurodiversity really means, reframing brain differences as natural human variation rather than problems to be fixed. The conversation gently unpacks where the concept came from, why it matters, and how it has shaped thinking in education, workplaces, families, and society more broadly. Stephen also clarifies some of the most common points of confusion, including the difference between neurodivergent conditions and mental illness, the role and limits of diagnostic labels, and why the idea of a “spectrum” is often misunderstood. Along the way, he reflects on how historical assumptions and narrow research lenses have contributed to myths and harm — and how improved understanding has led to more inclusive and humane perspectives. The episode closes with practical principles for supporting neurodivergent people with dignity and respect, starting not with labels or assumptions, but with curiosity, clear communication, and empathy. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, supporting someone you care about, or working in a leadership or helping role, this episode offers a grounded foundation for understanding difference without deficit.
