<br/><br/> Neurodiversity : a concept whose time has come  The joy of the hyperactive brain  The positive side of being autistic  A different kind of learner  The gift of mood  The advantages of anxiety  The rainbow of intelligences  Thinking in a different key  Neurodiversity in the classroom  The future of neurodiversity. 
<br/><br/> In "The Gift of Neurodiversity", Armstrong argues that we have been too quick to pathologise brain differences. Indeed, in recent years, we have re-classified these differences, labeling many of them "disorders." What science actually suggests is that there are many different ways for our brains to be wired, and that there are actual "gifts" or "strengths" attached to some of these differences.
