The main forms of neurodivergence
Autism : This is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects reciprocal social interactions, communication, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped behavior.
Asperger's syndrome : This is a disorder within the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It manifests as difficulty communicating, establishing social relationships, and tolerating noise or a stimulating environment.
ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This is a neurological disorder that causes difficulty controlling behavior and/or maintaining attention for those affected. It is generally diagnosed in childhood and continues to manifest in adulthood.
Dyspraxia : Dyspraxia is characterized by difficulty in performing coordinated movements when the individual does not have any organic lesions that could explain this difficulty.
Dyslexia : Dyslexia is a disorder affecting the ability to read or the difficulty in recognizing and reproducing written language. It is primarily characterized by slowness in written language and confusion of sounds or letters. There are three types of dyslexia: phonological dyslexia (difficulty in matching graphemes to phonemes), surface dyslexia (difficulty in storing the image of a word), and mixed dyslexia (dysfunction of both the phonological assembly and phonological access routes).
Dyscalculia : Dyscalculia is to mathematics what dyslexia is to reading: instead of having difficulty understanding and using the letters of the alphabet, a dyscalculic person has difficulty understanding and using numbers.
Dysorthography : Dysorthography is a specific and persistent writing disorder. These disorders manifest as slowness in writing, spelling, grammar and conjugation errors, copying errors and omissions of letters.
High Intellectual Potential : High Intellectual Potential has "high-speed" neural connections between certain areas of the brain with a faster information processing capacity.
Neurodivergents: a different brain and behavioral pattern
Several factors commonly influence the structuring of thought: age, culture, environment, etc. More exceptionally, the way of thinking can also be the result of a different brain structure without this being comparable to "disease".
Neuroatypical individuals exhibit a different brain pattern , which is generally accompanied by a different behavioral pattern as well .
Differences in functioning (so-called atypical, non-normative, etc.) should not be seen as a deficiency compared to the norm, but rather as another way of functioning , equally valuable and enriching . To be convinced of this, one need only examine the artistic, scientific, and/or technical contributions of neurodivergent individuals . These contributions allow us to appreciate the richness of both their thought and their output.
Moreover, one only has to look at certain recruitment campaigns of Silicon Valley giants to realize that these atypical profiles can be sought after and valued, even if overall the business world is not always inclined to change its habits to integrate these high value profiles.
Neurodiversity therefore also has its place in the world of work, as Frédéric Vezon, founder of ASPertise, points out.
Those who generally think differently and observe things from a new angle are very useful in identifying flaws and shortcomings in a system architecture.
