CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -“Neurotypical” is a term that’s used to describe individuals with typical neurological development or functioning. It is not specific to any particular group, including autism spectrum disorder. In other words, it’s not used to describe individuals who have autism or other developmental differences.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Neurodiversity” is a word used to explain the unique ways people’s brains work. While everyone’s brain develops similarly, no two brains function just alike. Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person.

Detailed explanation-3: -A “neurodivergent” person refers to a person on the autism spectrum or, more generally, to someone whose brain processes information in a way that is not typical of most individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The word “neurotypical” describes someone who thinks and processes information in ways that are typical within their culture. They tend to learn skills and reach developmental milestones around the same time as their peers.

The term was coined in the neurodiversity movement as the opposite of “neurotypical”-previously, the term “neurodiverse” was sometimes applied to individuals for this purpose.
