An infographic that presents a common myth. At the top, an orange banner with a white "X" reads "MYTH". Below the banner, the text says, "Neurodivergent means autistic." Under the text is a stylized icon of a brain colored in a rainbow gradient, representing the spectrum of neurodiversity.

Myth: Neurodivergent Means Autistic

❌ Myth: Neurodivergent means autistic.

✅ Fact: Neurodivergence encompasses any differences in neurological development or functioning that diverge from the “typical.” This can include dyslexic or dyspraxic people, ADHDers, Autistic people, and folks with intellectual or learning differences or mental health conditions.

👉 Why does this matter?
Leaders need to think beyond a single diagnosis or label. Neuroinclusion means anticipating and flexibly responding to a range of possible needs, including different communication styles, processing speeds, sensory sensitivities, and working patterns. There’s a big difference between token inclusion and genuine neuroinclusion.
