Explained in plain English

What is neurodiversity?

Robbie Williams's autism diagnosis highlights the idea of neurodiversity. This term recognises that variations in brain function, like autism and ADHD, are natural human differences, not deficits. It promotes understanding and acceptance of these diverse ways of thinking, learning, and behaving, moving away from viewing them purely as medical conditions needing a 'cure'.
